Uses

This combination medication is effectively used to treat:

  • Muscle spasms and pain due to injuries or musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Back pain, neck pain, and other localized pain issues.
  • Inflammation accompanying strains, sprains, or other injuries.

The presence of three active ingredients ensures that it addresses pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms simultaneously, offering comprehensive relief.

How It Works

  • Chlorzoxazone acts on the spinal cord and subcortical areas of the brain to inhibit reflexes that cause muscle spasms, thereby providing muscle relaxation.
  • Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) reduces the production of prostaglandins in the brain which helps to lower fever and lessen pain.
  • Diclofenac Potassium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting enzymes that produce prostaglandins, substances responsible for pain and inflammation in the body.

How to Use

This combination medication should be taken orally with or without food as directed by a healthcare provider, usually 3-4 times a day. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed to minimize the risk of side effects. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed.
