Voltaren Retard provides sustained relief by delivering diclofenac sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), slowly into your system. This controlled release mechanism ensures consistent pain and inflammation reduction throughout the day, minimizing peaks and troughs in drug levels.
Targeting Inflammation at the Source
Diclofenac sodium works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers that trigger inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Voltaren Retard addresses the root cause of your discomfort, offering more than just temporary pain masking.
Understanding the Release Profile
The retard formulation ensures a longer duration of action compared to immediate-release diclofenac. This means fewer doses and fewer instances of needing to remember to take your medication. A typical dosage recommendation involves once – or twice-daily administration, depending on individual needs and severity of symptoms. Always consult your physician for appropriate dosage.
Dosage and Considerations
| Once daily | Mild to moderate inflammation |
| Twice daily | Moderate to severe inflammation |
Remember, always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. If you experience any adverse reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Proper use ensures optimal pain management and minimizes potential side effects.
Beyond Pain Relief
Beyond pain reduction, Voltaren Retard can contribute to improved mobility and functionality. By decreasing inflammation, you can regain more freedom of movement and participate in daily activities with greater ease.
