How Volitra Aps works

Diclofenac is a topical NSAID that reduces prostaglandin formation to decrease pain and inflammation at the site. Methyl salicylate and menthol act as counterirritants producing a warming/cooling sensation that helps relieve pain. Linseed oil acts as an emollient and may aid penetration and soothing of affected area.

How to take Volitra Aps

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and gently rub until absorbed, usually 3-4 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Wash hands after application; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken/irritated skin; do not cover with tight bandage or apply heat unless advised.
