About Ottace MR 325mg/250mg Tablet

CHLORZOXAZONE+PARACETAMOL belongs to the class of drugs known as analgesic 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 the involuntary contractions of muscle which can be painful.

CHLORZOXAZONE+PARACETAMOL 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, CHLORZOXAZONE+PARACETAMOL helps in relieving musculoskeletal pain.
