Often, sudden pain causes us to put off even the most important things for later. Whether it’s cleaning the apartment, walking with children, shopping or having a romantic date, a sharp muscle spasm or discomfort in the joint can cancel all this in an instant. For such cases, you should always have an effective painkiller with you, which would be able to quickly stop the focus. One such drug is Voltaren. The instruction promises not only an anti-inflammatory effect after its application, but also the elimination of pain, which will allow a person to continue to do what he likes. It remains only to determine the most convenient form of release of this tool. On sale are candles, gel, injections, as well as Voltaren tablets, the composition of which have a different concentration of the active component - diclofenac. Let's look at each of the types of this drug in more detail.
Gel Voltaren. Instructions for use
This form of release is most popular among those who often deal with physical activity. Pain in the lumbar spine, sprains of muscles and joints, bruises and other simple injuries - this is a list of indications for which it is recommended to use Voltaren gel. There are practically no contraindications in this case, since the drug does not need to be taken inside. This means the minimum distribution of components in the bloodstream, which is ensured by spot application.
This gel has a good warming effect, which is a good help for rheumatic pains, as well as associated with joint diseases. However, it is worth considering that in this case, the cause of the occurrence of unpleasant sensations can be thinning of the cartilage. And here the gel will become only a temporary panacea. It is necessary to consult a doctor who will prescribe a more effective medicine.
Voltaren tablets. Instructions for use
An adult experiencing regular pain can take no more than three tablets of this drug in one day. In this case, you do not need to track the time of food intake. Voltaren can be consumed at any time of the day. Tablets should be swallowed whole, without crushing and not dividing into parts, washed down with a sufficient amount of water.
It is this form of release of this medication that provides the most effective effect on the site of pain due to the accumulation of the active substance directly in it. The highest concentration is achieved approximately two hours after taking the tablets, and the ingredients do not have the ability to accumulate in the body in excessive quantities.
Tablets are used not only for traumatic pains, but also for various types of inflammatory processes. These can be gynecological diseases, spondylitis, menstrual pain, swelling and bruising.
Candles Voltaren. Instructions for use
Provide the most rapid absorption of the drug through the soft tissues and mucous membranes of the rectum. Candles are good to use at night, since it is at this time of day that the pain syndrome tends to intensify. The effect will be noticeable within an hour after administration. The dosage of one suppository is usually 50 mg.
Voltaren suppositories are used for acute migraine attacks, as well as for periodic pain in women. The dosage in the first case is 2 suppositories per day, and in the second - from 1 to 3, depending on the intensity of pain.
Voltaren injections. Instructions for use
Injections, or, more simply, injections of this drug are injected deep into the upper outer square of the buttocks intramuscularly. There is one feature here. In order to avoid overdose of the active substance, they can not be done for more than 2 days in a row. Voltaren injections are usually prescribed to reduce severe postoperative pain.
