Ingesic MR Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain due to muscle spasms such as arthritis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone and joint pain, headache, and period pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.
Ingesic MR Tablet contains Nimesulide (analgesic), Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer), and Tizanidine (muscle relaxant). Nimesulide and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Tizanidine works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain, which helps relieve muscle stiffness, thereby improving muscle movements. Together, Ingesic MR Tablet helps in reducing pain due to muscle spasms.
