Some of the conditions in which Dic Plus Dry Syrup is used are rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscle pain, back pain, toothache, or pain in the ear and throat. Take it as it is prescribed to get the most benefit. Do not take more or longer than needed as that can be dangerous. In general, you should take the lowest dose that works, for the shortest possible time. This will help you to go about your daily activities more easily and have a better, more active, quality of life.

I got my four Molars DIC filling done from a local dentist. She has called me again for a recheck up after ten days. She suggested that as I had cavities, she did DIC filling this time, but after ten days she will remove this and do a Composite filling instead. It will not cause any pain or problem. My question is, do I really need to go for this? Is it really required as filling is already done? Will it be having any complications in future?
