Voltarol Rapid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly effective in treating pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, sprains, strains, and other musculoskeletal injuries. The active ingredient in Voltarol Rapid is diclofenac potassium, which works by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, substances in the body that mediate inflammation and pain. As a result, it provides rapid relief from pain and reduces swelling and inflammation. Voltarol Rapid is available in various forms, including tablets and capsules, and is often recommended for short-term use under medical guidance to manage acute symptoms of pain and inflammation.
