1 tablet of Votan SR daily.
Where the symptoms are most pronounced during the night or in the morning, Votan SR should preferably be taken in the evening.
The tablets of Votan SR should neither be fragmented nor chewed. They should be taken with liquid, preferably at meal times.
As a general recommendation, the dose should be individually adjusted. Adverse effects may be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see PRECAUTIONS).
Established cardiovascular disease or significant cardiovascular risk factors: Treatment with diclofenac is generally not recommended in patients with established cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure, established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease) or uncontrolled hypertension. If needed, patients with established cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g. hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking) should be treated with diclofenac only after careful consideration and only at doses ≥100 mg daily if treated for more than 4 weeks (see PRECAUTIONS).
Route of Administration: Oral.
