About Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's

Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's is a combination medication used to reduce and relieve orthopaedic, traumatic,  and rheumatologic disorders. It helps relieve muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions) associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, vertebral static problems, dorsal pain, low back pain, and torticollis (neck muscle contractions). 

Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic) and Thiocolchicoside (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain, inflammation and fever. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieves pain due to muscle spasms.

Take Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience diarrhoea, drowsiness or stomach pain. Most of these side effects of Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's is not recommended for children below 16 years of age. Avoid taking Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's if you are pregnant as it may cause harm to the foetus. Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's is excreted in breast milk. Therefore, Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's is contraindicated in breastfeeding women as it may cause adverse effects on the baby. Inform your doctor if you experience abdominal pain or discomfort, dark urine, itching, fever, weakness, or yellowing of skin and eyes while taking Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's as it indicates liver problems. Do not consume alcohol with Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's as it may increase the risk of liver damage. If you have galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption, G-6-PD deficiency (a hereditary condition resulting in low red blood cell counts), fits (epilepsy), muscular hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), flaccid paresis (loose and floppy limbs), kidney or liver diseases, inform your doctor before taking Acton-OR Plus Tablet 10's.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty in moving, pain in affected muscles and joints. Fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection, and tight clothing can trigger muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants and exercise can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help in inhibiting painful contractions. Whereas, exercise helps in muscle stretching to be less likely to spasm, tear and sprain.
