Brief Answer:
Zerodol is a NSAID painkiller...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Zerodol CR is a NSAID drug. It is an antiinflammatory drug that reduces inflammation and pain. Your doctor may have found signs of inflammation leading to pain and therefore would have prescribed her the drug. When used for few days, it will benefit her. However the drug should not be prescribed if she has past renal medical illness (kidney disease).

Over the period of time, if pain persists and if there are no contraindications she should consider physiotherapy and other pain reducing medications. I do not recommend every day use of NSAID if it can be avoided.

Hope I am clear. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
