Frequently asked questions
Is Relief Tablet safe to use?
Relief Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea in some individuals. If you experience persistent symptoms, consult your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Relief Tablet once my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Relief Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, especially if it's for a long-term condition. However, you can stop taking it for short-term pain relief when instructed to do so.
Does Relief Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, taking Relief Tablet can sometimes lead to nausea and vomiting. Consuming it with milk, food, or antacids may help minimize these effects. Avoid eating fatty or fried foods when taking this medication. In case of vomiting, sip fluids like water frequently. If vomiting persists or you notice signs of dehydration (dark urine, reduced urination frequency), seek guidance from your doctor. Please refrain from taking other medications without consulting them.
Can Relief Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, some people using Relief Tablet may experience dizziness, including feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it's important to avoid driving or operating machinery. Instead, rest and resume normal activities once the symptoms subside.
Are there any specific contraindications for using Relief Tablet?
Relief Tablet is generally safe, but individuals with known allergies to any of its components should avoid it. It's also advisable to consult your doctor before use if you have a history of stomach ulcers or are experiencing active or recurrent ones. Avoid taking this medication in individuals with pre-existing liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, or heart failure.
Is Relief Tablet helpful for relieving stomach pain?
Relief Tablet is not intended for the treatment of stomach pain and should not be taken without consulting a doctor. It may worsen stomach conditions by increasing acid secretion, so it's important to seek professional medical advice before using it.
Can Relief Tablet cause kidney damage?
Yes, long-term use of Relief Tablet can potentially harm your kidneys. Prostaglandins naturally help protect the kidneys from damage. However, painkillers like Relief Tablet lower these prostaglandin levels, leading to increased risks of kidney damage with prolonged usage. Therefore, using painkillers for long-term use is not recommended in individuals with existing kidney conditions.
Can I take a higher dose of Relief Tablet?
No, taking more than the recommended dosage of Relief Tablet can increase the likelihood of experiencing side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, and diarrhea. Furthermore, long-term use may lead to increased risk of kidney damage. Please consult your doctor if you need a dose adjustment or experience increased pain levels beyond the prescribed dose.
