Robinaxol Tablet 10's

Robinaxol Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medicines called 'muscle relaxants' used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms due to pain and injury. Besides this, it also treats tetanus conditions (lockjaw) which are characterized by painful tightening muscles. Muscle spasm is the sudden, painful, involuntary muscle contractions which occurs when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. Tetanus is a nervous system disorder leading to painful muscle contraction, mainly affecting the jaw and neck muscles. 

Robinaxol Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic, which inhibits the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, thereby lowering pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain sensation (nerve impulse) sent to the brain. Thus, Robinaxol Tablet 10's works on the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain), thereby maintaining muscle strength and relieving muscle spasms or stiffness.

Robinaxol Tablet 10's consists of two medicines: Paracetamol (mild analgesic) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and fever reducer, which prevents the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that stops sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and injury. Together, Robinaxol Tablet 10's treats painful muscle spasms associated with short-term muscle disorders, like spasms in the lower back, injuries, sprains and strains.
