How it works
Caredic-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.

Is Caredic-MR Tablet safe to use?
Caredic-MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some people may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dryness in the mouth, weakness, and sleepiness. If you experience persistent side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Caredic-MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Caredic-MR Tablet as prescribed by your doctor unless they advise otherwise. You may be able to discontinue the medication after a short period of use if your pain has been adequately managed.
Can the use of Caredic-MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, taking Caredic-MR Tablet can lead to nausea and vomiting. If you experience this side effect, try taking it with milk or food, or an antacid, and avoid fatty or fried foods.
