Uses
Chlorzoxazone-Paracetamol 250mg-325mg is used to treat:
- Muscle spasms and associated pain due to acute musculoskeletal conditions.
- Pain from injuries such as sprains or strains.
- Associated symptoms of discomfort including fever and localized pain.
This medication provides a comprehensive approach by relaxing tense muscles and alleviating pain and discomfort.
How It Works
- Chlorzoxazone acts primarily in the spinal cord and brain, helping to relax muscles by inhibiting reflexes that cause muscle spasms and tension.
- Paracetamol works by inhibiting the enzyme in the brain that is involved in the release of substances that sensitize pain receptors, providing relief from pain. It also helps reduce fever by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to promote heat loss.

This medication should be taken orally, usually 3-4 times daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food or milk may reduce stomach upset.
