Voltaren 12.5 mg Diclofenac suppositories for children offer a practical solution for managing pain and inflammation in pediatric patients when oral medications are not ideal. Diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation, thereby reducing swelling and pain. These suppositories deliver the medication directly into the rectum, which can be particularly useful for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets or experience gastrointestinal issues with oral NSAIDs. The rectal administration allows for relatively quick absorption and effective pain management, making it a valuable option for addressing acute pain and inflammation in young patients. By bypassing the stomach and intestines, Voltaren suppositories help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects and provide targeted relief mild-to-moderate pain and inflammation. This might be after an injury, or due to a long-term condition such as post-operative pain or acute inflammatory episodes.
