How it works
AT-MR Tablet is a combination of a muscle relaxant (Chlorzoxazone) and two pain relieving medicines (Diclofenac and Paracetamol). The muscle relaxant works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving movement of muscles. The pain relieving medicines work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation.

Frequently asked questions
What is AT-MR Tablet?
AT-MR Tablet is a combination medication containing Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medicine is used to relieve muscle pain caused by inflammation. Diclofenac works by reducing the body's production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals involved in pain and inflammation. Paracetamol reduces pain by lowering temperature and interfering with the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Chlorzoxazone acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles.
Is AT-MR Tablet safe to use?
AT-MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients when used according to instructions. However, some people may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other uncommon or rare side effects. If you experience any persistent problems, please contact your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking AT-MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
It's important to continue taking AT-MR Tablet if your doctor prescribes it for a specific duration. However, you can discontinue the medication if you are using it for short-term pain relief.
Can the use of AT-MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, AT-MR Tablet may cause nausea and vomiting in some patients. If you experience nausea, take it with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods while using this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of fluids by sipping frequently. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and notice signs of dehydration such as dark-colored urine and reduced urination frequency. Do not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor.
Can the use of AT-MR Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, some patients may experience dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) while using AT-MR Tablet. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, rest for a while and resume when feeling better.
