I am having pain from neck to my elbow since a long time. It just does?t go away. When I visited doc he said it?s tennis elbow and asked me to take etova 300 twice a day for a week. I took 2 tabs the first day and then stopped it as I could?t see any difference. I had one tablet today after 3 days but don?t really feel like continuing it. Can I stop the dosage?

Kindly continue the treatment adviced by your doctor. Do not discontinue unless any side-effects from medicine. Just a day dose won't give you instant relief.

Yes u can stop it anytime u want. But when a doctor prescribe medications for a week, we have some reason behind it. If a medicine can reduce pain in a single dose, y would we ask to take it for a week. 🙏🏽
