How it works
Zerodol Spas Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Drotaverine and Aceclofenac, which relieves abdominal pain and cramps. Drotaverine is an anti-spasmodic medicine which relieves contractions (spasms) associated with smooth muscles in the abdomen. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause abdominal pain and inflammation (swelling).

Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration. Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Zerodol Spas Tablet as it can cause excessive drowsiness and increase your risk of stomach problems. It may cause a drop in your blood pressure. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. Inform your doctor if you have severe kidney, liver, or heart disease.
