  • Chronic arthritis needing once-daily tablet: Zerodol-CR (200 mg controlled release).
  • Mild pain + fever: Zerodol-P.
  • Nerve pain component (e.g. disc-related joint pain): Zerodol-PG.

Important Notes

  • NSAIDs like aceclofenac should be taken after food to avoid gastric irritation.
  • Avoid in: peptic ulcer disease, kidney disease, heart failure, or if already on blood thinners.
  • Long-term use should always be under a doctor's supervision.
