Voveran
Voveran contains Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for acute pain management and chronic inflammatory joint diseases.
