velotin

Velotin is a topical gel or cream containing the active ingredient diclofenac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

Velotin delivers diclofenac directly to the affected area through a patch or a gel, which allows for targeted relief without systemic absorption. This reduces the risk of gastrointestinal side effects and allows for higher concentrations of the active ingredient at the site of action.

The gel or cream is absorbed through the skin, where it is then metabolized and exerts its anti-inflammatory effects. Velotin is often used as an alternative to oral NSAIDs, particularly for patients with gastrointestinal issues or those who require higher doses of diclofenac.

Clinical trials have shown Velotin to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hand, knee, and other joints. The most common side effects reported include skin irritation, rashes, and application site reactions.

Velotin is available by prescription only and should be used as directed by a healthcare provider. Patients should be monitored for potential side effects and interactions with other medications. As with any topical NSAID, long-term use should be avoided and the treatment schedule followed strictly.
