Zerodol Tablet

Zerodol Tablet contains Aceclofenac (100mg), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, musculoskeletal disorders, and postoperative pain. It works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the formation of prostaglandins—chemicals that trigger pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. By reducing prostaglandin production, Aceclofenac effectively alleviates discomfort and improves mobility in affected joints and muscles.

Not everyone taking Zerodol Tablet will experience side effects, but some may notice stomach discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, or skin rash, especially during the initial days of treatment. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, medical attention is recommended.

The medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician, preferably after food to minimize stomach irritation. Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed. The dosage and duration of treatment are based on the patient’s medical condition and response to therapy.

Avoid Zerodol Tablet if allergic to Aceclofenac (100mg), other NSAIDs, or any of its ingredients. Patients with active stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe heart failure, kidney or liver impairment should inform their doctor before use. Pregnant and breastfeeding women must seek medical advice before starting treatment. Alcohol should be limited, as it may increase the risk of stomach bleeding.

For best results, Zerodol Tablet should be used alongside recommended lifestyle modifications and physiotherapy where applicable.
