Voveran SR 100 mg (Diclofenac)

Description

Voveran SR 100 mg is an extended release diclofenac tablet used for pain and inflammation. It belongs to the NSAID group, which simply means it lowers substances in the body that cause pain and swelling. The SR part stands for sustained release, so the tablet releases medicine slowly through the day. That helps keep pain control steady with fewer ups and downs.

How It Works in Simple Terms

When your body is injured or inflamed, it makes prostaglandins that trigger pain and swelling. Diclofenac blocks the enzymes that make those prostaglandins. Less prostaglandin means less pain, less heat, and less swelling. The extended release layer lets the tablet work steadily for many hours.
