About Zeroflam MR 500mg/50mg/500mg Tablet

CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post-surgery inflammation, and edema (swollen tissue with fluid). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused due to soft tissues (muscle, tendon, and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL is a fixed-dose combination composed of three medicines namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Third medicine i.e. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant, that helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL can be taken with or after the meal. To avoid stomach upset CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL can be taken with food or milk. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Do not take CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL if your pain lasts for more than ten days or your fever lasts for more than three days. Do not take a double dose if you missed one dose. Like all medicines, CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL may cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Stop taking this medicine if you experience symptoms like the tightness of the chest, breathing difficulties, fever, skin rashes, increased heart rate, and or in case of any signs of hypersensitivity.

Do not take CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL if you are allergic to painkillers like aspirin, paracetamol, naproxen or diclofenac. It is not recommended for use in children, people with liver disease, heart disease, or gastric ulcers/bleeding problems. CHLORZOXAZONE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL may be associated with a small increase in the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction). Avoid consumption of alcohol as it may damage your liver and cause even more side effects on taking this drug. Consult your doctor if your symptoms of pain, inflammation, and fever do not disappear even after ten days.
