Overview

Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository contains Diclofenac Sodium 12.5mg and is presented as a suppository. It is supplied in pack sizes of 10s and 5s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository should only be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Wash your hands, remove the suppository from its wrapper, and insert it gently into the rectum, pointed end first, using a finger. It is generally advised to insert the suppository after a bowel movement and to remain lying down for a few minutes afterwards to help it dissolve and be absorbed properly.

Dosage

Dosage of Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository depends on the patient’s age, body weight, and the condition being treated, and must be determined by the prescribing doctor. It is commonly used in children as an antipyretic/analgesic when oral formulations are impractical, with the doctor specifying the frequency and maximum daily dose; do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration without medical advice.

Shelf Life

Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository should be used before the expiry date printed on the packaging and strip. Do not use the product if the expiry date has passed or if the suppository shows signs of melting, discolouration, or damage.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Diclofenac suppositories can soften in warm conditions, so keeping them away from heat helps preserve their shape and effectiveness; keep out of reach of children.

Common side effects may include:

  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Indigestion or gas
  • Headache or dizziness
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Swelling in hands or feet

Contraindications

  • History of asthma, urticaria, or allergic reactions triggered by NSAIDs

  • Severe heart failure, liver, or kidney impairment
  • Recent rectal surgery, proctitis, or rectal bleeding

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other NSAIDs or aspirin, which may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Anticoagulants such as warfarin, which may increase bleeding risk

  • Methotrexate, as diclofenac may increase its blood levels and toxicity
  • Lithium, as diclofenac can raise lithium blood levels

Quick Tips

Relevant Information

Voltaren 12.5mg Suppository is prescribed when oral NSAIDs are not suitable, such as in young children with high fever or in patients unable to swallow tablets. Doctors monitor dosing carefully because NSAIDs, even in suppository form, are absorbed systemically and carry the same class-wide precautions as oral diclofenac, including gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risk considerations with prolonged use.
