Acprex-MR Tablet is a combination of three medicines. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicines. They act as analgesics (pain reliever). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm without a reduction in strength. This improves pain and movement of muscles.

Acprex-MR Tablet should not be taken with any other medicine containing acetaminophen (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first. Older adults may have increased drowsiness, confusion, and higher risk of falling as a result of taking Acprex-MR Tablet. Do not take it with any other medicine containing acetaminophen (drugs for pain/fever or cough-and-cold) without asking your doctor first.
