About Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's

Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug' (NSAID). Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post surgery inflammation and oedema (swollen tissue with fluid). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long term(chronic) in nature. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused due to soft tissues (muscle, tendon, and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's is a fixed-dose combination composed of three medicines namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone. Diclofenac 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. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Third medicine i.e. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant, helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's can be taken with or after the meal. To avoid stomach upset Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's can be taken with food or milk. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not take Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's if your pain lasts for more than ten days or fever lasting for more than three days. Do not take a double dose if you missed one dose. Like all medicines, Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most of the side effects of Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's are drowsiness, constipation, diarrhoea, stomach upset, slight discolouration of urine, and ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears. In case of any discomfort, speak with your doctor. 

Do not take Lefenac Forte Tablet 10's if you are allergic to painkillers like aspirin, paracetamol, naproxen or diclofenac.
