My sister is suffering from Erythema nodosum and to get relieved from the pain and swelling in legs she has been prescribed ZIX-R whose API is aceclofenac.After a full dosage of 20 days she recurred the symptoms.I wanted to know whether the medication prescribed in this case is correct or not.Again upon consultation the doctor has prescribed metasin.I am a B.Pharm graduate so interested in every aspect of the medication.I hope i receive a reply soon.
Thanks
Jyotika

I am taking this medicine. I think drowsiness is the big side effect of this drug.
