How it works
Diclonij Super 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 (redness and swelling).

Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
Is it safe to use Diclonij Super Tablet?
Diclonij Super Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, and sleepiness. In some cases, it may also cause uncommon or rare side effects. If you experience any persistent problems while taking this medication, it is essential to inform your doctor as soon as possible.
Can I stop taking Diclonij Super Tablet when my pain is relieved?
It is crucial to continue taking Diclonij Super Tablet for the duration advised by your doctor, even if your pain is relieved. However, if you are using it for short-term pain relief, you can discontinue it once the pain has subsided.
Can the use of Diclonij Super Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Diclonij Super Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience nausea while taking this medication, it is recommended to take it with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods along with this medication. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids in small, frequent sips. If vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as dark-colored and strong-smelling urine and a low frequency of urination, consult your doctor. Do not take any other medication without consulting your doctor first.
Can the use of Diclonij Super Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, Diclonij Super Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you experience dizziness, it is recommended to rest for a while and resume once you feel better.
