What you will receive

Voveran is the originator brand name, made by Novartis. We use it to identify the medicine; the pack you receive is a generic equivalent, not the original Voveran.

  • The same active ingredient (Diclofenac) at the same strength.
  • The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock when your order ships.

FAQ

What pack sizes of Voveran tablets can I order?

Voveran tablets come as generic diclofenac 50mg, in packs of 30 to 360. This is generic diclofenac, not the original Voveran. Larger packs cost less per tablet.

Can a large Voveran order be split for Hong Kong delivery?

Very large orders over 120 units may be split into several parcels. Each parcel ships in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents, and a parcel that does not arrive within the delivery window is sent again free.

What other names is diclofenac sold under?

Voveran is a branded generic of diclofenac, the ingredient in Cataflam, Voltaren and Voltarol. Diclofenac is also sold as Flector, Pennsaid, Solaraze and Motifene. Here, diclofenac can be bought online as Voveran, and also as generic Voltaren and diclofenac tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.

How long does Voveran take to work?

The 50mg tablet is the fast-release kind rather than a slow-release one, so pain often starts to ease within the first hour. Joint pain from arthritis tends to settle over several days of regular dosing rather than after a single tablet.

What is the difference between Voveran and Voltaren?

They are the same medicine under two names. Voveran comes as 50mg tablets, while Voltaren comes as 50mg and 100mg tablets. Each also has a 100mg slow-release version, Voveran SR and Voltaren SR.

Can I drink alcohol with Voveran?

An occasional drink is unlikely to cause trouble, but heavy drinking while taking diclofenac makes stomach irritation and bleeding more likely, and adds to the dizziness and headache the tablets can cause on their own.

Should I take Voveran with food?

Yes — with a meal or straight afterwards is the easiest way to take it. Food makes the tablet kinder to the stomach than taking it on an empty one, and it is how most people fit a two or three times daily dose into their day.

How often can I take Voveran 50mg?

One tablet two or three times a day is the usual range, so up to three tablets in 24 hours. The slow-release 100mg tablets are taken less often, usually once a day, because the dose is released gradually.

About Voveran

What Voveran tablets are for

The active ingredient here is diclofenac sodium, one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It brings down pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles. Arthritis is the main reason people order it — osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis both — and it is also used for back strain, soft-tissue injuries, gout attacks, period pain and pain after surgery.

Diclofenac blocks cyclooxygenase, the enzyme the body uses to make prostaglandins, the chemicals that switch on pain and swelling around damaged tissue. Fewer of them means a calmer, more mobile joint.

How to take a 50mg tablet

One tablet two or three times a day is the usual pattern for this strength. Swallow each dose with water, with food or straight after a meal; that is gentler on the stomach than taking it on an empty one. Keep the tablets in their blister pack below 25°C, away from damp and direct sun.

Side effects

Indigestion, heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, headache and dizziness are the common ones; a few people get swollen ankles or a rash.

Two risks matter more. NSAIDs can ulcerate the stomach lining or start a bleed there — vomiting blood or something that looks like coffee grounds, black tarry stools, or sudden severe stomach pain needs urgent treatment. Taken for months, diclofenac also raises the chance of a heart attack or stroke, and the risk climbs the longer it is used. Swelling of the face, lips or throat, or trouble breathing, is a severe allergic reaction and an emergency too. Anyone whose asthma has been triggered by aspirin or another NSAID should leave diclofenac alone.

Mixing it with other medicines

Blood thinners such as warfarin, oral steroids, SSRI and SNRI antidepressants and some blood pressure medicines all change the picture when diclofenac is added — with the first two, bleeding into the stomach becomes more likely. Adding a second NSAID, aspirin or ibuprofen included, brings extra risk and no extra relief.

Voveran, Voltaren and the slow-release tablets

This listing is 50mg diclofenac tablets and nothing else. The same ingredient appears here as Voltaren in 50mg and 100mg tablets, and as two 100mg slow-release tablets, Voltaren SR and Voveran SR, which are usually taken once a day because the dose is released gradually. Same active ingredient, different names; the diclofenac page runs through all four.
