Product Description
Voltaren 25mg Suppositories contain diclofenac sodium, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes to reduce prostaglandin synthesis. Administered rectally, it provides fast absorption (peak plasma levels in 30-60 minutes) and effective relief from mild to moderate pain and inflammation when oral administration is unsuitable (e.g., nausea, post-surgery, or dysphagia). Indicated for acute gout, musculoskeletal disorders, dysmenorrhea, migraine, and post-operative/trauma pain, it offers comparable efficacy to 50 mg oral diclofenac with reduced first-pass metabolism. The smooth, torpedo-shaped suppositories ensure comfortable insertion and rapid dissolution at body temperature.
