How does it work?
Voveran, 1% gel, contains Diclofenac as its active ingredient, which works as a painkiller. It is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) available in the form of topical medicine. This gel blocks the enzyme COX (cycloxygenase), which causes pain and swelling. When used, it decreases inflammatory prostaglandins and treats the condition. As a result, this gel helps to relieve pain and swelling when applied to joints and muscles.
