Can Zaltokin Be Given For Rheumatoid Arthritis And Gout Pain?
Respected Sir,
Can you please tell whether medicine Zaltokin 80 mg can be given for RA, OA, Gout pain? If yes then what is the dosage? And can it be continued on a long term basis? And is there any serious side affects other than those commonly associated with other NSAID?
