Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet

Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet is a diclofenac tablet used to relieve pain and inflammation. Each tablet contains diclofenac 100 mg in a sustained-release form, which means the medicine is released more slowly than an immediate-release tablet. It belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and is used for conditions such as arthritis pain, muscle and joint pain, back pain, and other inflammatory pain conditions.

How it works: Diclofenac works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers the body’s production of prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. In the sustained-release tablet form, Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet releases diclofenac gradually after swallowing so the effect lasts longer.

Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet is a higher-strength diclofenac option, so it is generally suited to adults whose doctor has decided that a longer-acting 100 mg tablet is appropriate for their pain control. Compared with lower-strength or immediate-release diclofenac forms, this tablet is designed to provide steadier symptom relief over time rather than a rapid burst of relief.

• Arthritis pain and stiffness
• Muscle and joint pain
• Back pain
• Inflammatory pain
• Pain from sprains or strains

• Swallow Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or split it.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, because the sustained-release tablet is made to release diclofenac slowly.
• Taking the tablet with food or milk may help reduce stomach upset.
• Try to take it at the same time each day if your doctor has told you to use it regularly.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed, as directed by your doctor.

Each Ventoran-SR 100 Tablet provides diclofenac 100 mg in a sustained-release tablet. The dose is usually taken once daily, but your doctor may adjust how often you take it based on your condition and response. Do not take more than prescribed; the maximum daily dose depends on your medical situation, but your prescriber will set the safest limit for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
