Voveran TPM Gel (Diclofenac) – Topical Pain Relief for Joints & Muscles

Voveran TPM Gel is a topical NSAID formulation containing diclofenac, designed to provide targeted relief from joint and muscle pain. This transdermal gel is specially formulated to penetrate the skin and deliver anti-inflammatory action directly to affected areas, making it ideal for treating conditions like sprains, strains, tendonitis, and osteoarthritis in peripheral joints. Unlike oral pain medications, it minimizes systemic absorption, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. The gel should be applied 2-4 times daily to clean, intact skin, avoiding contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds.

Uses of Voveran TPM Gel:

– Relief from joint pain in osteoarthritis
– Treatment of sports injuries (sprains, strains)
– Management of tendonitis (tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow)
– Reduction of inflammation in bursitis
– Localized pain relief for bruises
– Treatment of acute neck and back pain (superficial application)

Benefits of Voveran TPM Gel:

It offers localized pain relief with minimal systemic absorption, making it safer than oral NSAIDs for many patients. Its targeted action provides effective reduction of inflammation and pain at the application site without significant gastrointestinal effects. The gel formulation allows for easy application and quick absorption, with many users experiencing relief within 30 minutes. It’s particularly beneficial for patients who cannot tolerate oral NSAIDs or those needing focused treatment of specific painful areas.

Side Effects of Voveran TPM Gel:

Being a topical formulation, side effects are generally mild and localized:
– Skin irritation at application site
– Redness or itching
– Dryness or peeling of skin
– Rarely, allergic contact dermatitis
Systemic side effects are uncommon but may include nausea or headache in sensitive individuals.

How to Use Voveran TPM Gel?

1. Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly
2. Apply a thin layer of gel (3-5 cm depending on area size)
3. Gently rub in until fully absorbed
4. Wash hands after application unless treating hands
5. Use 2-4 times daily as needed
6. Do not cover with bandages unless directed by doctor
7. Avoid sunlight exposure on treated areas

How Voveran TPM Gel Works?

The Gel contains diclofenac, a potent NSAID that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes locally in the skin and underlying tissues. This blocks the production of prostaglandins – chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. The TPM (Transdermal Penetration Matrix) formulation enhances skin penetration while minimizing systemic absorption, providing focused relief where it’s needed most.

Safety Advice:

Pregnancy: Contraindicated – risk to fetus
Breastfeeding: Avoid – potential risk to infant
Skin Conditions: Do not apply to broken/irritated skin
Allergies: Discontinue if rash develops
Sun Exposure: Increases photosensitivity risk
Other NSAIDs: Avoid concurrent systemic NSAID use
Eyes/Mucous Membranes: Strictly avoid contact

What If You Missed an Application?

If you forget to apply the Gel, use it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for the next application. Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose. Maintain your regular application schedule for consistent pain relief.

FAQs:

Q1. How long does Voveran TPM Gel take to work?

Many users experience some relief within 30-60 minutes, but maximum anti-inflammatory effects may take 2-3 days of regular use as directed.

Q2. Can I use this Gel for knee pain?

Yes, it’s particularly effective for osteoarthritis in superficial joints like knees, elbows, and wrists where the gel can penetrate effectively.

Q3. Is Voveran TPM Gel better than oral painkillers?

For localized pain, it’s often preferred as it delivers medication directly to the painful area with fewer systemic side effects than oral NSAIDs.

Q4. Can I apply moisturizer after Voveran TPM Gel?

Wait at least 1 hour after application before using other topical products on the same area to avoid interfering with absorption.

Q5. Why shouldn’t I use it for hip pain?

The hip joint is too deep for topical medications to reach effectively. Oral medications or injections are better options for hip pain.

Q6. Can I use Voveran TPM Gel long-term?

For chronic conditions like osteoarthritis, long-term use may be appropriate under medical supervision, with periodic evaluation of treatment effectiveness.

Q7. What should I do if I get skin irritation?

Discontinue use and wash the area thoroughly. If irritation persists, consult your doctor. Consider testing on a small area first if you have sensitive skin.

Q8. Can I use Voveran TPM Gel with a heating pad?

Heat may increase absorption and irritation risk. Use at room temperature unless your doctor advises otherwise.
