Product description

INDICATIONS

Voveran (Diclofenac) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat minor aches and pains associated with the common cold, headache, muscle aches, backache, and arthritis. It may also be used to reduce fever. Voveran (Diclofenac) works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain, swelling, and fever.

INSTRUCTIONS 

Use Voveran as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Voveran comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Voveran refilled.

Take Voveran by mouth. It may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Taking it with food may not lower the risk of stomach or bowel problems (eg, bleeding, ulcers). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have persistent stomach upset.

Take Voveran with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL) as directed by your doctor.

STORAGE 

Store Voveran at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). Brief storage at temperatures between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Voveran out of the reach of children and away from pets.
