Hi Doctor, my Dad is suffering from severe Ankloysing spondilitys and its peripheral problems. Since 15 days his body pain has increased, specially lower body. A doctor has suggested Zerodol - P and antacid Famtac. I m curious to know about the side effects of the medicine. Kindly help me out. Thanks.
Hi, Zerodol P (paracetamol and diclofenac) is commonly prescribed for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Generally it is well tolerated by most of our patients however it may cause heart burn, upper abdominal pain, nausea, or inflammation of the stomach. The antacid Fatal has been prescribed to counter the side effects as mentioned above. Let him continue to take it as prescribed. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
