About DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+CHLORZOXAZONE
DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+CHLORZOXAZONE belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug' (NSAID). DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+CHLORZOXAZONE is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post surgery inflammation and oedema (swollen tissue with fluid). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long term(chronic) in nature. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused due to soft tissues (muscle, tendon, and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.
DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+CHLORZOXAZONE is a fixed-dose combination composed of three medicines namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Third medicine i.e. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant, helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

Do not take a double dose if you missed one dose. Like all medicines, DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+CHLORZOXAZONE may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
