How it works
Dip 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 Dip MR Tablet?
Dip MR Tablet is a medication that combines three active ingredients: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. It helps to relieve muscle pain by reducing the production of chemical substances called prostaglandins in the body.
Is Dip MR Tablet safe to use?
Dip MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it may cause common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, and dizziness. In rare cases, it can also cause more serious side effects. It's essential to inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems due to the medication.
Can I stop taking Dip MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
If you're using Dip MR Tablet for short-term pain relief, you can discontinue it once your symptoms improve. However, if your doctor has advised you to use it for a specific duration or for ongoing pain management, it's crucial to follow their instructions and continue taking the medication as directed.
Can Dip MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Dip MR Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting in some patients. To minimize these side effects, take the medication with milk, food, or antacids. If you experience vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Consult your doctor if vomiting persists, and you notice signs of dehydration.
Can Dip MR Tablet cause dizziness?
Dip MR Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it's best to rest for a while and resume once you feel better.
Can Dip MR Tablet cause damage to the kidneys?
The long-term use of Dip MR Tablet can cause damage to the kidneys. This is because painkillers like Diclofenac lower the levels of prostaglandins in the body, which normally protect the kidneys from damage. If you have underlying kidney disease, it's not recommended to use painkillers.
Can I take a higher than the recommended dose of Dip MR Tablet?
No, taking a higher than the recommended dose of Dip MR Tablet can increase the risks of side effects. If you're experiencing increased severity of pain or if the pain is not relieved by the recommended doses, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
