Q: What are Jonac Suppositories meant for? How do they help? Are they used to control fever in children?
A:Jonac contains a drug called diclofenac. It is basically a pain killer for muscular and bone disorders. It can be used to lower fever in adults but should not be used in children because safety data for very young patients is not available.
