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