Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository 10s (Box)

Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing diclofenac sodium as its active ingredient. It is formulated in a hard fatty suppository base for rectal administration. If you're using this medicine for the first time, whether for yourself or your child, you may be wondering what to expect from this method of administration. The suppository should be inserted into the rectum, preferably after a bowel movement, providing a suitable alternative for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Some people may experience mild side effects such as abdominal discomfort, bloating, indigestion, nausea, or loss of appetite. Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository is generally used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. Your doctor will advise how long treatment should continue, particularly when it is used in children. As with other NSAIDs, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine if you have stomach, kidney, liver, or heart conditions, or if you are pregnant.

For children aged 1 year and above, the usual dosage is 0.5 to 2mg per kg of body weight per day, divided into 2 to 3 doses. The exact dose will be determined by your child's doctor based on the severity of the condition.

For adults, the dosage depends on the condition being treated. The total daily dose of diclofenac from all formulations should not exceed 150mg per day. Always follow your doctor's prescribed dosing instructions and do not exceed the recommended dose.
