Voltaren 50 mg 10 Suppositories

Voltaren 50mg Suppositories provide Diclofenac Sodium via the rectal route at the 50mg dose, offering a lower-dose option to the 100mg suppository for patients who require NSAID therapy but need to avoid oral administration. The 50mg dose can be used twice daily to achieve the 100mg daily dose, or in combination with oral Voltaren where both oral and rectal routes are being used under physician supervision for maximum daily dose coverage.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Diclofenac Sodium 50mg per suppository
• Form: Rectal suppositories
• Pack size: 10 suppositories
• Route: Rectal
• Action: NSAID - anti-inflammatory / analgesic

Benefits

• The 50mg dose provides a lower unit dose that can be titrated to the required daily total - useful for patients who require flexible dosing or for whom the full 100mg single dose produces side effects
• 10-pack provides a sufficient supply for a full treatment course with the ability to dose twice daily if clinically appropriate, covering the most common short-course indications for rectal Diclofenac
• Rectal route reduces direct gastric exposure to the NSAID, making it suitable for patients with a history of gastric ulcer, gastritis, or NSAID-related dyspepsia who still require anti-inflammatory therapy
• The 50mg suppository can be used as a complementary dose alongside oral Voltaren taken at a different time of day, allowing physicians to optimize daily diclofenac coverage while minimizing the total oral NSAID burden
• Effective absorption through the rectal mucosa provides systemic anti-inflammatory and analgesic blood levels comparable to oral administration

How to Use

• Use as directed by your physician - dosing depends on the indication and total daily diclofenac dose plan
• Insert as described for the 100mg suppository
• Typical adult dosing: 50mg two to three times daily rectally, or combined with oral diclofenac as directed
• Do not exceed the total maximum daily diclofenac dose across all routes
• Wash hands before and after administration
• Store below 25 degrees Celsius - do not refrigerate unless instructed
