How it works
Flexon MR Tablet is a combination of two pain relievers (Ibuprofen, Paracetamol) and a muscle relaxant (Chlorzoxazone). The pain relievers work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). The muscle relaxant works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve movement of muscles.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of seizures, heart disease, or stroke. If you have asthma, symptoms such as wheeze or breathlessness might become worse by Flexon MR Tablet. If this happens to you, consult your doctor immediately.
