Introduction About ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET

ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET is used to manage muscular pains and spasms. It can also be used to provide relief from joint pain (Ex. osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) and back pain (Ex. ankylosing spondylitis). It is a combination of Aceclofenac, Chlorzoxazone, and Paracetamol, which belong to the group of medicines called Analgesics and Muscle relaxants, respectively.

Take ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET preferably with meals, to avoid gut irritation. Avoid consuming alcohol, as it could aggravate the risk of stomach problems. Do not take ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET if you have any ulcers, bleeding, or perforations in the gut.

Before taking ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have diabetes, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, any inflammation in the bowel or intestines, blood clots, bleeding problems, or a previous history of stomach ulcers.

ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET is not recommended for use in patients with liver failure or stroke. It is also not suitable for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women. The most common side effects of taking ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET are nausea, vomiting, indigestion, heartburn, and stomach pain. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects worsen.

Uses Of ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET

It is used to manage:

  • Muscle pain and spasms
  • Joint pain and back pain

How ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET Works

ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET contains three medicines, namely chlorzoxazone, aceclofenac, and paracetamol. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant. It acts by increasing the effects of certain chemical messengers (such as GABA) in the brain and spinal cord that induce muscle relaxation. As a result, it manages muscle twitching, relieves pain caused by muscle spasms, and improves muscle movement.

Aceclofenac and paracetamol are analgesic agents. They provide pain relief by blocking the release of certain chemicals (such as prostaglandins) in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. Collectively, these actions help reduce muscle spasms, joint pain, and inflammation.

How to use ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET

Take ANCLOFENAC MR TABLET as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. It is preferably taken with meals to avoid gastric irritation.
