How it works
Cottflam-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 muscle movement. The pain-relieving medicines block the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation.
