How it works
Diflo 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is Diflo MR Tablet?
Diflo MR Tablet is a combination medication containing Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medication is used to relieve muscle pain, primarily due to its action on the central nervous system (CNS). Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by reducing prostaglandins in the body, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation.
Is Diflo MR Tablet safe to use?
Diflo MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some individuals may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, sleepiness, or other less common side effects. If you experience any persistent issues after starting this medication, it's important to inform your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Diflo MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Diflo MR Tablet should be continued as prescribed by your healthcare provider for the full duration of treatment unless otherwise advised. However, it can be discontinued if used short-term to manage mild pain.
Can Diflo MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, some individuals may experience nausea or vomiting after taking this medication. If you experience these symptoms, consider consuming the medicine with a milk, food, or antacids. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods alongside this medication. In case of vomiting, drink small sips of water frequently and seek medical advice if needed. Do not take any other medications without consulting your doctor.
Can Diflo MR Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, some patients may experience dizziness or lightheadedness while taking this medication. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, rest for a short period and resume once you feel better.

However, prolonged use of painkillers can lower levels of these protective chemicals in the body, increasing the likelihood of kidney damage over time.
Can I take more than the recommended dose?
Taking a higher dose of Diflo MR Tablet can increase the risk of side effects. Consult your doctor if you are experiencing increased pain or if the medication is not effectively relieving your symptoms, as they may recommend an adjustment to your treatment plan.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Diflo MR Tablet?
Store Diflo MR Tablet in its original container or package. Make sure it is tightly closed and kept in a cool, dry place as directed on the label. Do not use an expired product; discard unused medication properly to prevent accidental consumption by others.
