Can I stop taking O P D Tablet when my pain is relieved?

Can the use of O P D Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, O P D Tablet may cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food, or antacids can help prevent nausea. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods with this medication. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small, frequent sips. If vomiting persists, consult your doctor and watch for signs of dehydration, such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, and a low frequency of urination. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor.
