Product Description

Voltaren D 50mg Dispersible Tablets is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed for the short-term relief of pain and inflammation associated with various joint, muscle and inflammatory conditions. It contains diclofenac, an active ingredient that helps reduce the production of prostaglandins, chemical substances involved in the body's pain and inflammatory responses.

This medicine may be prescribed for painful conditions such as back pain, muscle strains, sprains, tendonitis, arthritis flare-ups, acute gout and menstrual cramps. It may also be used for certain types of post-operative and post-injury pain when considered appropriate by a healthcare professional.

Voltaren D comes in a dispersible tablet formulation that is designed to break down quickly in water before oral administration. This formulation provides a convenient alternative to conventional tablets for individuals who have difficulty swallowing solid tablets.

Each tablet provides a 50mg diclofenac strength. The pack contains 20 dispersible tablets and is intended for use by adults and adolescents above 14 years, according to the listed product information.

Voltaren D helps manage symptoms such as pain and swelling but does not treat the underlying cause of an inflammatory condition. It should be used only as prescribed by a doctor, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration.
