How it works
Diclotuff-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 Diclotuff-MR Tablet safe for use?
Diclotuff-MR Tablet is generally safe for most patients. However, it may cause common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other rare side effects. It's important to inform your doctor immediately if you experience persistent problems related to the medication.
Can I stop taking Diclotuff-MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
If prescribed for a specific duration, continue taking Diclotuff-MR Tablet as advised by your doctor. However, you can discontinue the medication if you are using it for short-term pain relief.
Can Diclotuff-MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Diclotuff-MR Tablet can lead to nausea and vomiting. If experiencing these symptoms, take the medication with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods along with this medicine. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.
