Voltaren Retard Tabs 100mg 100's

Voltaren Retard Tabs 100mg contain the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain and inflammation. This formulation is designed for sustained release, allowing for prolonged therapeutic effects throughout the day. Voltaren is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute pain, as it effectively reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

Dosage/Directions

For adults, the typical dosage is one tablet (100mg) taken once daily, preferably with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. It’s important not to exceed the prescribed dose. Patients should follow their healthcare provider’s instructions for specific conditions and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal upset, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Rare but serious side effects can involve gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, or severe allergic reactions. Regular monitoring is advised for patients on long-term therapy.
