Is it safe to use Zytis D Tablet?
Zytis D Tablet is generally safe for most patients, but it may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it may cause more severe side effects. Inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems while taking this medication.
Can I stop taking Zytis D Tablet when my pain is relieved?
If you are taking Zytis D Tablet for long-term pain relief, it is essential to continue taking it as directed by your doctor. However, if you are taking it for short-term pain relief, you can discontinue use once your pain is relieved.
Can the use of Zytis D Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Zytis D Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food, or antacids may 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 and you notice signs of dehydration, such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination, consult your doctor. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor.
Can the use of Zytis D Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, Zytis D Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you experience dizziness, it is recommended to rest for a while and resume once you feel better.
Can the use of Zytis D Tablet cause damage to kidneys?
Yes, the long-term use of Zytis D Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. Normal kidneys produce a chemical called prostaglandins that protect them from damage. The use of painkillers lowers the levels of prostaglandins in the body, leading to kidney damage on long-term use. Use of painkillers is not recommended in patients with underlying kidney disease.
Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Zytis D Tablet?
The use of Zytis D Tablet is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of the components or excipients of this medicine. It should be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or active, recurrent stomach ulcer/bleeding. Additionally, it is not recommended for patients with a history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
Can Zytis D Tablet be taken with Vitamin B-complex?
Yes, Zytis D Tablet can be taken with Vitamin B-complex preparations. While Zytis D Tablet helps to relieve pain, Vitamin B-complex can help to correct the vitamin deficiency that may be causing the underlying painful condition.
Is it safe to take a higher than the recommended dose of Zytis D Tablet?
No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Zytis D Tablet can increase the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, and diarrhea. It can also damage your kidneys on long-term use. If you are experiencing increased severity of pain or the pain is not relieved by the recommended doses of this medicine, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
