ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET

ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET is a combination medicine used for the management of neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a chronic progressive nerve disease that causes nerve pain due to nerve damage or a malfunctioning nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation.

ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Pregabalin (anti-convulsant), and Aceclofenac (NSAID). Pregabalin works by changing how nerves send messages to your brain. Aceclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). Prostaglandins play an important role in controlling pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced. This reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site decreasing stiffness in joints. Together, ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).

ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Pregabalin (anti-convulsant), and Aceclofenac (NSAID's). Pregabalin belongs to a group of medications called 'anticonvulsants' used to prevent neuropathic pain (pain due to damaged nerves), fibromyalgia (musculoskeletal pain), and epilepsy (fits). It works by calming the damaged or overactive nerves in your body that may cause pain or seizures, thereby decreasing the number of pain signals sent out by damaged nerves in the body. Overall it reduces the pain which has been damaged or irritated due to conditions like chronic conditions, diabetes, trauma, or epilepsy. Aceclofenac belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to reduce and relieve pain, redness, and inflammation (swelling) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, ZERODOL PG 200/150MG TABLET helps to treat neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage).

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain is caused due to damage to sensory nerves. It is caused by chronic progressive nerve disease, or due to infection or injury. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, which is felt as a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation. A feeling of numbness and loss of sensations is also common with neuropathic pain. Usually, the body sends the pain signals when there is an injury, but with neuropathic pain, the pain is not triggered by an injury, the body unpromptedly sends the pain signals. Symptoms include spontaneous, untriggered pain, unpleasant feeling, shooting, burning or stabbing pain, difficulty resting or sleeping, and evoked pain (pain caused by events usually not painful).
