Asolt-XL Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'pain killer' and 'muscle relaxant' used to reduce and relieve the muscle spasms due to pain and injury. Besides this, it also treats tetanus conditions (lockjaw) which are characterized by painful tightening muscles. Muscle spasm is the sudden painful, and involuntary contractions of the muscle, which occurs when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. Muscle pain (myalgia) can be caused due to injury, infection, loss of blood flow to the muscle, infection, or a tumour. Tetanus is a nervous system disorder leading to painful muscle contraction, mainly affecting jaw and neck muscles.

Asolt-XL Tablet contains three medicines namely diclofenac, methocarbamol, paracetamol. Asolt-XL Tablet contains diclofenac which works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. On the other hand, paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Additionally, it also helps to relieve toothache, ear pain, backache, and other musculoskeletal-related pain. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain sensation (nerve impulse) sent to the brain. Thus, Asolt-XL Tablet works on the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain), thereby maintaining muscle strength and relieving muscle spasms or stiffness.

Muscle spasm: The sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle 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 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. Exercise helps in muscle stretching so that they are less likely to spasm, tear, and sprain.

Musculoskeletal pain: It is generally caused by disorders of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or a combination. Injuries (mostly sports-related injuries) are the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain. Muscle pain (myalgia) can be caused due to injury, infection, loss of blood flow to the muscle, infection, or a tumour. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains, or trauma, or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

Osteoarthritis: It is the most common form of joint disorder that occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. It can damage any joint, thereby affecting joints in your hands, knees, hips, and spine.
