Voveran Emulgel

Uses
Voveran Emulgel (Diclofenac Sodium) is used to provide relief from pain and swelling that has been caused by injuries of the muscles, joints and tendons. Bruises and sprains can be effectively treated with this product. It is also considered to be useful at relieving joint pain caused by arthritis and osteoarthritis. This gel works by preventing the body from producing the substances that it normally produces in response to injury or disease (known as prostaglandins), which in turn helps to reduce inflammation and pain.

Dosage and Administration
Voveran Emulgel (Diclofenac Sodium) must be applied directly to the affected joint or body part. Follow all instructions given to you by your doctor, and only apply the correct amount. In most cases, patients are told to apply the gel 4 times per day. Gently rub in the gel to ensure maximum effectiveness. Never apply the gel to skin that is damaged in any way (broken, swollen or infected), as this could cause side effects or further damage.

Side effects
When Voveran Emulgel (Diclofenac Sodium) is applied topically to treat pain, it may cause side effects. However, most patients will not experience severe reactions. Some possible side effects include:

• Acne
• Dry or red skin
• Skin itchiness or irritation
• Scaling or hardness affecting the skin
• Numbness where the gel has been applied

Immediate medical attention is necessary if you notice weight gain, discolouration of urine, muscle weakness or any other signs that you are suffering from serious side effects.

Precautions
Patients must not apply any cosmetic products, sunscreens, moisturising cream, insect repellents or other topical medicated creams to the area of skin that has been treated.

If you suffer from asthma, you must tell your doctor about this before you apply the cream, as it may not be suitable for you.

Seek immediate emergency medical attention if you suffer an allergic reaction. Symptoms to watch for, which may be indicative of a reaction, include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or limbs, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

Always use Voveran Emulgel (Diclofenac Sodium) as you have been prescribed by your doctor. Never self-medicate or change your dosage without first consulting your doctor. The correct dosage can vary depending on your health, medical history, and the severity of the condition being treated.
