How it works
Diclosri 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 (redness and swelling).

Is Diclosri MR Tablet safe to use?
Diclosri MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most individuals. However, some patients may experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dryness in the mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other rare or infrequent effects.

Can I stop taking Diclosri MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Diclosri MR Tablet as directed by your healthcare provider, unless it is a short-term pain relief case. You may discontinue the medication if you are using it for a limited time.
Can Diclosri MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
