Voveran SR 100mg Tablet

Diclofenac Sodium is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Some common medications also contain NSAIDs, so if you are already using them, taking Diclofenac Sodium along with them will lead to too much NSAID in your body. Read the labels of those medicines carefully if they contain NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen.

Diclofenac Sodium is an FDA pregnancy category D drug. This medication can harm an unborn baby if taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Diclofenac Sodium is not recommended for children under 18 without proper medical advice.

Diclofenac Sodium gastro medication, like all medications, has the potential to cause side effects. Some common side effects of this medication are black, bloody or tarry stools; bloody cough or vomit that looks like coffee grounds; increased blood pressure; diarrhea; upset stomach; nausea; heartburn; stomach pain; constipation; or drowsiness.

The side effects mentioned above are not the only ones; there may be other side effects which may be rare and serious. Seek medical attention immediately if you get serious side effects with this medicine.

Your doctor will fix the Diclofenac Sodium dosage after examining you properly. Dosage may depend on a range of factors like age, sex, drug allergies, or seriousness of the condition, among several other factors. Stick to your doctor’s prescription strictly. Do not alter the dosage unless your doctor advises you to do so. Also, do not take this medication after the prescribed period is over.

Avoid crushing, breaking, or chewing a Diclofenac Sodium extended-release tablet, as doing so may lead to too much of the medicine being released at once. Instead, swallow it whole. Do the same with the enteric-coated tablet with a special stomach protection coating. Breaking an enteric-coated tablet can damage that coating. Always store Diclofenac Sodium medication in a cool and dry place.
