What is the generic and brand name for diclofenac injection?
Diclofenac injection is marketed under different names depending on the country and manufacturer, but the active ingredient is diclofenac.
In the US, diclofenac injection is commonly referred to as diclofenac sodium injection (generic name: diclofenac sodium).
Is “diclofenac injection” the same as Voltaren?
Voltaren is the brand most people associate with diclofenac, but Voltaren is not only an injection. It also exists in other formulations (such as topical gel and oral products). So “Voltaren” may refer to diclofenac in general, but the specific product name depends on the formulation.
