Description
VOLTAREN TAB 100MG contains diclofenac sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
It is primarily used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, postoperative pain, and other inflammatory disorders.
The drug class is NSAIDs.
The mechanism of action involves blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.
Common forms include tablets, extended-release tablets, topical gels, and injections; the 100mg dosage is typically available as an extended-release tablet.
Dosage instructions for the 100mg tablet usually involve taking one tablet once daily, often with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects, but the exact regimen should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the condition being treated.
Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and elevated liver enzymes. It is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal bleeding, severe heart, liver, or kidney disease, and should be used with caution in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Interaction with other medications such as anticoagulants, other NSAIDs, or certain antihypertensives is possible and should be managed by a healthcare provider.
