About MYOCETAMOL TABLET 10'S

MYOCETAMOL TABLET 10'S belongs to the class of drugs known as analgesics and muscle relaxants. It is primarily indicated for the relief of severe skeletal muscle spasms associated with painful conditions such as low back pain, sprain, strain, myalgia (muscle pain), headache, traumatic muscle injuries, cervical root and disc syndrome, torticollis (neck muscle contractions), and fibrositis (pain and inflammation of muscles). Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of muscle which can be painful.

MYOCETAMOL TABLET 10'S is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (Analgesic) and Chlorzoxazone (Muscle relaxant). Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Chlorzoxazone acts on the brain and spinal cord centres where it inhibits multisynaptic reflex involved in muscle spasms, thereby providing relief from skeletal muscle spasms. Together, MYOCETAMOL TABLET 10'S helps in relieving musculoskeletal pain.

You are advised to take MYOCETAMOL TABLET 10'S for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
