Voveran

Description

Voveran is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for the relief of pain and inflammation. It works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the body, known as cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a key role in the production of prostaglandins — substances that mediate inflammation and pain.

Uses / Indications

• Relief of mild to moderate pain (e.g., headaches, toothaches, or muscle pain)
• Management of pain associated with arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
• Reduction of fever
• Relief of menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)
• Treatment of post-operative pain

Dosage and Administration

Adults:
Typically, Voveran is administered at a dose of 50 mg to 100 mg up to three times daily, depending on the severity of the condition and the physician’s recommendations.

Children:
The dosage for children under 12 years of age is usually determined by weight and specific medical advice should be followed.

Note: Always follow the prescription or guidance provided by your healthcare provider.

How It Works (Mechanism of Action)

Voveran inhibits the action of cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), leading to a decrease in the production of prostaglandins — compounds responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. This action helps reduce swelling, pain, and redness in the affected areas.
