Flexura D Strip Of 10 Tablets
Medical Description
Flexura D tablets are a combination medication used to relieve muscle pain and discomfort caused by injuries or sprains. They contain diclofenac, an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain, and metaxalone, a muscle relaxant. This combination helps to alleviate pain and discomfort by reducing inflammation and relaxing the affected muscles.
Flexura D tablets may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. While these side effects are usually temporary, consult your doctor immediately if they persist or worsen.
Flexura D tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, preferably with food to minimize stomach upset. Before starting Flexura D, inform your doctor about all existing medical conditions, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, or any plans for pregnancy.
Mobiswift D tablet, Myospas D tablet and Lysoflam MR tablet are some other medicines containing diclofenac and metaxalone.
