How it works
Dicron C 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.

Is it safe to use Dicron C Tablet?
Dicron C Tablet is generally safe for most patients. However, some may experience common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other rare side effects. It is important to inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems after using this medication.
Can I stop taking Dicron C Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Dicron C Tablet should be continued only as directed by your doctor. You may stop taking it for short-term pain relief.
Can the use of Dicron C Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, dicron C tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. When experiencing this symptom, take the medicine with milk or food or an antacid to aid in digestion. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods along with this medication. If you vomit, drink fluids by taking small sips frequently. Consult your doctor if vomiting persists, noticing signs of dehydration like dark-colored urine and reduced urination frequency. Do not take any other medication without talking to your doctor.
