About this product
Overview
Voltral Emul 2% Gel is a topical medication containing Diclofenac Sodium as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is used for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and sports injuries. The gel formulation allows for localized application to the affected area, providing targeted relief.
Active Ingredient
Diclofenac Sodium: Diclofenac Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that contribute to inflammation, pain, and fever.
Uses
Voltral Emul 2% Gel is used for the temporary relief of:
- Pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions
- Acute musculoskeletal injuries, such as sprains, strains, and sports injuries
- Painful inflammatory conditions, such as tendonitis and bursitis
Mechanism of Action
Diclofenac Sodium exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. By blocking prostaglandin production, diclofenac reduces inflammation, pain, and fever, providing symptomatic relief.
Administration
Apply a thin layer of Voltral Emul 2% Gel to the affected area and gently massage until absorbed, usually 3-4 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Wash hands after application, unless treating the hands. Avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin, mucous membranes, or eyes.
