What is Diclofenac Sodium used for?
Voltarol Ophtha eye drops are used to relieve pain and inflammation in the eye following cataract surgery or other eye procedures. They may also help with eye discomfort caused by minor injuries or infections. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as NSAIDs, which work by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and swelling. It is not intended for long-term use without medical supervision.
