How to use

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.

How it 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.

Use with caution in people allergic to NSAIDs/aspirin, with asthma, or with history of NSAID-induced reactions. Avoid excessive use over large areas; risk of systemic NSAID effects is low but possible, especially with prolonged use. Not recommended for children unless advised by a physician.

Take the missed dose of Volitra Aps as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
