Detailed Information
Introduction
NEO ALCINAC MR TABLET is used in the management of muscular pains and spasms. It can also be used to provide relief from joint pain (Ex. osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) and back pain (Ex. ankylosing spondylitis). It contains a combination of Aceclofenac, Chlorzoxazone and Paracetamol. Aceclofenac and paracetamol are pain relieving medicines. They alleviate pain by inhibiting the release of specific chemicals, like prostaglandins, in the body, which are responsible for causing pain, inflammation, and swelling. Chlorzoxazone operates primarily by hindering nerve impulses (or signals) in the spinal cord and the brain, which ultimately leads to muscle relaxation. Take NEO ALCINAC MR TABLET preferably with meals to avoid gut irritation. Avoid consumption of alcohol as it could aggravate the risk of stomach problems. Do not take NEO ALCINAC MR TABLET if you have stomach ulcers, bleeding or perforations in the gut.
