Overview

Zolterol 100mg SR Tablet contains Diclofenac sodium 100mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Zolterol 100mg SR Tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water, ideally at the same time each day, and taken with or shortly after food to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. The tablet must not be crushed, chewed, or split, as doing so breaks the sustained-release matrix and can cause the full dose to be released at once instead of gradually over the day.

Dosage

The usual adult dose is one 100mg SR tablet once daily, taken at approximately the same time each day for consistent round-the-clock effect, or as advised by a pharmacist or doctor. The sustained-release formulation should not be split into partial doses, and it should be used at the lowest effective frequency needed to control ongoing joint or muscle symptoms.

Storage Instructions

Store Zolterol 100mg SR Tablet below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep it in its original packaging out of the reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

  • Stomach pain or discomfort
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Indigestion or gas
  • Headache or dizziness
  • Skin rash or itching
  • Swelling in hands or feet

Contraindications

  • Active or history of peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Known hypersensitivity to diclofenac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs, including asthma, wheezing, or hives triggered by these medicines
  • Severe heart failure, kidney impairment, or liver impairment
  • Third trimester of pregnancy
  • Active, uncontrolled bleeding disorders
  • Difficulty swallowing tablets whole, since the SR tablet must not be crushed or split

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Increased bleeding risk when taken with anticoagulants such as warfarin
  • Increased risk of stomach irritation and bleeding when combined with other NSAIDs, aspirin, or corticosteroids
  • May reduce the effectiveness of ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics, and increase the risk of kidney impairment when combined
  • May raise blood levels of methotrexate or lithium when taken together
  • Increased risk of kidney problems when combined with ciclosporin
  • Alcohol may increase the risk of stomach irritation during treatment

Quick Tips

  • Swallow the SR tablet whole with food; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this disrupts the slow-release action
  • Take it at roughly the same time each day for steady, round-the-clock relief
  • Do not take an extra tablet to make up for a missed dose; take the next dose at the usual time
  • Avoid taking with other diclofenac or NSAID products unless directed
  • Stop use and seek medical advice if you notice black stools, vomiting blood, or persistent stomach pain
  • Consult a pharmacist before use if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney problems

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

  • Diclofenac sodium 100mg (active ingredient, sustained-release formulation)
  • Sustained-release matrix and tablet coating layer
  • Fillers and binders typical of sustained-release tablet formulations
  • Release-controlling agents and lubricants to aid manufacturing

Relevant Information

Zolterol 100mg SR Tablet is a Poison List C medicine in Malaysia, dispensed over the counter by a registered pharmacist rather than requiring a doctor’s prescription. Its once-daily sustained-release design is intended for people with ongoing joint or muscle pain who prefer a single daily dose over taking a standard-release diclofenac tablet two to three times a day, and pharmacist counselling helps confirm this formulation is suitable and that the tablet is being swallowed correctly.

If pain remains poorly controlled despite once-daily use, or is accompanied by swelling, fever, or significant loss of movement, a doctor should be consulted to reassess the treatment plan rather than continuing self-medication indefinitely.
