About this product

Overview

Voltral suppository 100mg contain the active ingredient diclofenac sodium, which belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These suppositories are intended for rectal administration and are used to alleviate pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, and postoperative pain.

Active Ingredient

  • Diclofenac Sodium: Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever.

Mechanism of Action

Diclofenac sodium exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which play a crucial role in the inflammatory process. By blocking the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes, diclofenac reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation, providing relief from various painful conditions.
