Application | Voltaren Dolo

Application

The use of Voltaren dolo® is recommended for the short-term symptomatic treatment of fever and mild to moderate pain. After ingestion, the active ingredient is transported through the blood directly to the parts of the body where it is needed. Voltaren dolo® is therefore particularly suitable for treating muscular or skeletal pain (for example: back pain) or pain caused by rheumatism.

Contraindications to the use of Voltaren dolo® are hypersensitivity to diclofenac or other components of the drug, gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, blood formation disorders, liver or kidney dysfunction, acute severe bleeding, severe heart failure or pregnancy within the last three months. Under certain conditions, such as in the first months of pregnancy, while breast-feeding, if there is a general tendency to allergic reactions, in patients with autoimmune diseases or if there is a simultaneous intake of medication, which have a similar side effect profile to diclofenac (e.g. other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen) or influence the level of diclofenac in the blood (e.g. some antiepileptic drugs such as phenytoin), the use of Voltaren dolo® should, if at all, only be taken after consultation with and regular monitoring by a physician.

Voltaren dolo® can temporarily relieve headaches. If the headaches occur more frequently, a detailed investigation of the cause and, if necessary, a lifestyle modification is recommended. If this is not possible and sufficient, a doctor should be consulted.

It is not advisable to take Voltaren dolo® regularly for headaches. Voltaren dolo® can temporarily relieve pain caused by a herniated disc. The treatment of a herniated disc always includes various drug and non-drug therapy measures.

An individual approach and follow-up are extremely important. The treatment measures should always be discussed with the treating orthopedist and physiotherapist. It is also important that physiotherapists always indicate if a pain medication such as Voltaren dolo® has been taken. If there is mild to moderate toothache, Voltaren dolo® can be taken temporarily if there are no contraindications or incompatibilities or interactions with other medications that are currently being taken. However, the painkiller should only be taken as a temporary measure to bridge the time until the next dentist appointment.
