Can someone tell what Zerodol-P is actually used for? I was prescribed it for pain, but I’m not sure if it’s only for joint pain or can be taken for other body aches too. Just want to understand what this tablet is mainly meant for.

Dear Reader,
Zerodol-P tablet is a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medicine commonly prescribed for various types of pain, not just joint pain. It contains two active ingredients, Aceclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID) and Paracetamol (Acetaminophen).
Together, they help in reducing pain, swelling, and fever. Zerodol-P is often used for:
It works by blocking pain-causing chemicals (prostaglandins) in the body and also helps bring down fever.
However, since it’s an NSAID combination, it should always be taken after food to avoid stomach irritation or acidity. Avoid taking it along with other painkillers containing paracetamol or similar drugs to prevent overdose or liver strain.
In short, Zerodol-P is a general pain-relief tablet that is prescribed for mild to moderate pain and inflammation, not limited to joint pain. Always follow your doctor’s advice on how long to take it, as long-term use may cause stomach or kidney-related side effects.
Wishing you good health.
