Voren SR Tablet

Voren SR Tablet contains the active ingredient Diclofenac Sodium. It belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is commonly prescribed for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various conditions, including arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, and acute pain. Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that contribute to pain and inflammation.

Diclofenac Sodium, the active ingredient in Voren SR Tablet, exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins.
