Voltarol Suppositories

Targeted Relief with Diclofenac Sodium

Voltarol Suppositories contain diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation. Available in 12.5mg, 25mg, 50mg and 100mg strengths, Voltarol suppositories provide a rectal formulation for patients who have been prescribed diclofenac in this form.

Diclofenac sodium works as an anti-inflammatory medicine and is used for a range of painful conditions affecting the joints, muscles and tendons, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, acute gout, back pain, sprains, strains, tendonitis and bursitis. It may also be prescribed for pain associated with dental or minor surgery.

Convenient Suppository Form

For patients prescribed this formulation, Voltarol suppositories offer an alternative route of administration to oral diclofenac. The suppositories are designed for rectal use only and must not be taken by mouth. The appropriate strength and dosage depend on the individual’s condition and medical advice.

The available strengths—12.5mg, 25mg, 50mg and 100mg—allow healthcare professionals to select an appropriate treatment regimen according to the patient’s needs.

Important Information Before Use
