Zerodol Mr Strip Of 10 Tablets
Medical Description
Zerodol MR tablet is a combination medication that is used to treat pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone and joint pain, and headaches. The medication contains two active ingredients: aceclofenac and tizanidine. Aceclofenac acts as a painkiller by inhibiting the action of chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. Tizanidine works as a muscle relaxant by interrupting the signal transmission process to and from the brain and spinal cord, thus relieving muscle spasms and associated pain.
It is important to note that consuming alcohol or prescription or OTC medications that cause sedation, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, sleep medications, etc., without consulting a doctor can be harmful. It is also essential to follow the recommended dosage and not skip any doses. Using this medication for an extended duration may cause liver damage. The tablets Accetiz, Acewok Tz, Acent Tz, Regdol Tz and Omniflam also include aceclofenac and tizanidine.
If you experience nausea or vomiting, consuming small frequent meals may help, while frequent mouth care or sucking on lozenges may relieve dry mouth. Before using this medication, it is necessary to inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, breastfeeding, or have any detailed medical history.
