Flexon MR Tablet
Description
Flexon MR Tablet is a commonly prescribed medication for relieving pain, swelling, and inflammation related to muscles, joints, and bones. It is also effective in managing pain after surgeries or operations. This makes it useful for conditions like muscle strain, sprains, back pain, arthritis, and post-operative pain.
This tablet is a combination medicine containing three active ingredients: paracetamol, chlorzoxazone, and ibuprofen. Paracetamol acts as a pain reliever and fever reducer, ibuprofen decreases inflammation and swelling, and chlorzoxazone functions as a muscle relaxant. Together, they provide faster and more effective relief from musculoskeletal pain.
Flexon MR Tablet is used to treat joint pain, muscle stiffness, sports injuries, and pain caused by overexertion. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it with food to prevent stomach upset. Never exceed the advised dose and duration. If your pain persists, consult your doctor before continuing.
Some other medicines with the same composition include Dolomed MR Tablet and Flex MR Tablet. However, the choice of medication and dose should always be determined by your doctor, based on your condition and overall health.
Possible side effects of Flexon MR Tablet may include dizziness, nausea, stomach upset, drowsiness, or mild changes in liver enzymes. To stay safe, always inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy, and share details about any other medicines, supplements, or medical conditions before starting this medication.
