What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
What is Voltaren SR used for?
Voltaren SR (Diclofenac Sodium SR)
Voltaren SR belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. “SR” stands for “sustained release,” which means that the tablet is formulated such that the contained drug is released slowly over time. As a result, fewer tablets are taken; leading to fewer side effects. It is used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It is also used to treat the signs and symptoms of pain associated with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Diclofenac Sodium SR acts by reducing the pain and swelling associated with inflammation along with relieving the joint stiffness associated with painful joint conditions like arthritis. Treatment with Voltaren SR helps in regaining normal activities of life.
Voltaren SR can be easily purchased from Canada Pharmacy on your doctor’s prescription.
