About Apar MR 100mg/500mg/250mg Tablet

Aceclofenac + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone is a combination of two pain-relieving medicines (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol ) and a muscle relaxant ( Chlorzoxazone). The pain-relieving medicines block the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). The muscle relaxant works on the brain and spinal cord centers to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving muscle movement.

Medicinal Benefits of Apar MR 100mg/500mg/250mg Tablet

Aceclofenac and Paracetamol together work by blocking the effect of a natural chemical messenger called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical (prostaglandins). These prostaglandins are produced at sites of damage or injury and cause inflammation and pain. On the other hand, Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant that works centrally on the spinal cord by depressing reflexes, relieving pain and stiffness caused due to muscle strains and sprains.
