CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL

About

CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL is a combination medicine used to relieve pain due to muscle spasms. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscle that can be painful.

CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL contains Paracetamol and Chlormezanone. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Chlormezanone acts on the centres of the brain and spinal cord, where it inhibits the multisynaptic reflex involved in muscle spasms, thereby provides relief from skeletal muscle spasms. Together, CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL helps in relieving musculoskeletal pain.

You are advised to take CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side-effects such as stomach upset, dizziness, sleepiness, and weakness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid consuming alcohol along with CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL as it could cause increased dizziness. CHLORMEZANONE+PARACETAMOL may cause sleepiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.
