How Valdol works
Valdol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called COX-2 inhibitors. It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
Quick Tips
Valdol helps relieve pain and inflammation.
It may cause fewer stomach problems as compared to other NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen.
It may cause dizziness and fatigue. Do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you.
Do not consume alcohol while on treatment with this medicine as it may cause excessive drowsiness.
Regularly monitor your blood pressure while taking this medicine, particularly in the first two weeks after starting treatment.
Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart diseases, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
During long-term treatment, your doctor may want to take regular blood tests to monitor your liver function.
Do not take Valdol if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
