Diclofenac Diethylamine 20 mg
Active ingredient: Diclofenac diethylamine 20 mgVoltaren Emulgel is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve muscle pain, arthritis, and backache pain. It relieves mild to moderate pain caused by a variety of conditions, including rheumatism, acute inflammation, and strains and bones. Voltaren Emulgel is available as a gel, a cream, or a capsule.
Voltaren Emulgel contains the anti-inflammatory ingredient diclofenac diethylamine, which works by blocking the effects of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), which helps reduce the synthesis of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the body. This enzyme plays a role in the synthesis of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. In Voltaren Emulgel, the use of diclofenac diethylamine increases the levels of diclofenac in the body and enhances the effects of the enzyme. This helps to reduce symptoms of muscle and joint pain and accelerates the recovery time.
Voltaren Emulgel is a topical anti-inflammatory medication that is used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as backache, muscle strains, sprains, and strains and sports injuries. It works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation, and this is particularly useful for muscle and back pain. Voltaren Emulgel can be used to relieve sprains, strains, and strains in both adults and children. Voltaren Emulgel is not intended for use by children.
