Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel

Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel is a topical pain-relief medicine containing diclofenac 1% w/w in each tube. Diclofenac belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, and this gel is used on the skin to help relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and joints. Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel is commonly used for short-term relief of sprains, strains, back pain, tendon pain, and arthritis-related aches. Because it is applied directly to the painful area, it acts locally rather than being swallowed like a tablet.

How it works: Diclofenac in Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel blocks substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. By applying the gel to the skin over the painful area, the medicine is delivered right where it is needed to help reduce soreness and stiffness.

The 1% strength in Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel is a standard topical diclofenac concentration designed for local pain relief without the need for oral dosing. It may be chosen for people who need targeted treatment for a small painful area and for those who prefer a gel that feels light, absorbs quickly, and is less likely to cause stomach irritation than diclofenac tablets. A doctor may choose this strength when symptoms are mild to moderate or when a topical NSAID is appropriate instead of an oral NSAID.

• Muscle sprains and strains
• Joint pain from osteoarthritis
• Back pain and soft-tissue pain
• Tendonitis
• Sports injuries with swelling and soreness

• Apply a thin layer of Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel only to clean, dry, unbroken skin over the painful area.
• Gently rub the gel in until it is absorbed; wash your hands after use unless the hands are the treated area.
• Use it only on the area your doctor told you to treat, and do not cover it with tight bandages or heating pads unless instructed.
• Avoid applying the gel near the eyes, mouth, nose, genitals, or on cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.
• Do not use more often or for longer than prescribed, even if the pain returns.
• Let the area dry before putting on clothing, and avoid washing the treated area right away.

Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel provides diclofenac 1% in a topical gel form, so the dose is measured by how much gel you apply and where you apply it. Your doctor will decide how much to use and how often, based on the painful area and your condition; do not exceed the amount or frequency they recommend. Even though it is a topical NSAID, overuse can still raise the risk of side effects, so follow the prescribed schedule carefully.

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

Common side effects of Diclofenac may include:

• Skin irritation at the application site
• Redness or rash
• Itching or burning sensation
• Dry or flaky skin
• Mild stinging when first applied
• Sensitivity to sunlight on treated skin

• Do not use Voveran Emulgel 1% w/w Gel on broken, infected, or irritated skin.
• Avoid using other NSAIDs unless your doctor says it is safe, especially if you also take pain medicines by mouth.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, stomach ulcers, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
• Use extra caution if you are pregnant, especially in the third trimester, because NSAIDs may cause harm to the unborn baby.
• Do not apply heat over the treated area, since this can increase absorption and irritation.
• Avoid getting the gel in your eyes or mouth; rinse well with water if contact happens.
• If you develop a rash or worsening skin reaction, stop using it and seek medical advice.

• Other NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin
• Blood thinners such as warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or clopidogrel
• Corticosteroids such as prednisone, which can raise bleeding risk when combined with NSAIDs
• Blood pressure medicines such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or diuretics
• Lithium or methotrexate, which can have increased toxicity with diclofenac
