About Dualscan 100mg/20mg Tablet

DICLOFENAC+RABEPRAZOLE is a non-sedative painkiller, that belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID). It is primarily taken for reducing pain and inflammation. Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain in the muscles, ligaments, bones, tendons, and nerves. This pain occurs in just one area of the body, like your back. You can also have it all over your body if you have a widespread situation like fibromyalgia (extreme muscle pain).
