How it works

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).

Can I stop taking Grezox-MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Grezox-MR Tablet as advised by your healthcare provider. However, it can be discontinued if you're using it for short-term pain relief.
