Overview
Sunward Votan 100mg Sr Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Diclofenac Sodium 100mg. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.
No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.
If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.
Directions for Use
Sunward Votan 100mg SR Tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, ideally with or after food to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet, as this destroys the sustained-release mechanism and can cause the full dose to be released at once. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, at the same time each day, and do not stop or adjust the dose without medical advice, even if your symptoms improve.
Dosage
The typical adult dosage prescribed is one 100mg SR tablet taken once daily, although your doctor may adjust this depending on the condition being treated, symptom severity, and your individual response and risk profile. The lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration is generally recommended for NSAIDs. This medicine is not intended for use in children, and dosing in elderly patients or those with other medical conditions should always follow the prescribing doctor’s specific instructions.
Shelf Life
Sunward Votan 100mg SR Tablet typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly; always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton and do not use the product beyond this date.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
