Yes it can be taken for cervical radiculopathy also. It helps to reduce inflammation and then the pain generated with inflammation. The dosage has to be as per your doctor advise because he have give you this after doing assessment of your existing problem. 2dose should not be taken together. It may take 30-60minuts to start giving you pain relief.
In addition you can also use hot and cold pack on your painful area at cervical spine to have some more relief.
Take care
