Duranzo Tablet 10's

Duranzo Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’ used to treat acute or short-term painful conditions in adults. Pain is a widely used term used to describe an unpleasant feeling or discomfort. It ranges from mild to severe. The severity of the pain depends on the underlying condition. It is also classified as acute (short term) and chronic (long term) depending on pain duration. Acute pain, if left untreated, can result in chronic pain in some conditions.

Duranzo Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Diclofenac and Codeine. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing prostaglandin's production (chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation) at the affected site and reduce pain. Codeine is an opioid medication and works by preventing pain signals transmission along the nerves to the brain.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Duranzo Tablet are heartburn, indigestion, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness and loss of appetite. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side-effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp, it might be constant or long-term (chronic) or may be short-term (acute). The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). Pain can be considered a good thing as it helps us know that something is wrong in the body and thereby helps diagnose the condition. The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, and arthritis.
