About Neuromol-MR 500mg/400mg Tablet

METHOCARBAMOL+PARACETAMOL belongs to the group of medicines called 'muscle relaxant' used to reduce and relieve the muscle spasms due to pain and injury. Besides this, it also treats tetanus conditions (lockjaw) which are characterized by painful tightening muscle. Muscle spasm is the sudden painful, and involuntary contractions of the muscle, which occurs when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. Tetanus is a nervous system disorder leading to painful muscle contraction, mainly affecting jaw and neck muscles. 

METHOCARBAMOL+PARACETAMOL is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic, which inhibits the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, thereby lowering pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain sensation (nerve impulse) sent to the brain. Thus, METHOCARBAMOL+PARACETAMOL works on the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain), thereby maintaining muscle strength and relieving muscle spasms or stiffness.

Medicinal Benefits of Neuromol-MR 500mg/400mg Tablet

METHOCARBAMOL+PARACETAMOL consists of two medicines: Paracetamol (mild analgesic) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and fever reducer, which prevents the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by stopping sending a pain signal to the brain, thereby relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and injury. Together, METHOCARBAMOL+PARACETAMOL treat painful muscle spasms associated with short-term muscle disorders, like spasms in the lower back, injuries, sprains and strains.
