How it works
Dicmodol-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).

Dicmodol-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 less common or rare side effects. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any persistent problems related to this medication.
When can I stop taking Dicmodol-MR Tablet?
You should continue taking Dicmodol-MR Tablet as prescribed by your doctor unless you are using it for short-term pain relief. Only discontinue the medication after consulting with your physician.
Can I experience nausea and vomiting while taking Dicmodol-MR Tablet?
