How it works
Medizox 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

Is Medizox Tablet safe to use?
Medizox Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, it can cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, drowsiness, and other less frequent side effects. If you experience any persistent problems related to the medication, consult your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Medizox Tablet once my pain is relieved?
Continue taking Medizox Tablet as prescribed by your doctor unless otherwise instructed. If you are using it for short-term pain relief, discontinuation may be considered after consulting your doctor.
Can the use of Medizox Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, nausea and vomiting can occur as a side effect while taking Medizox Tablet. To mitigate these effects, consider consuming this medicine with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid fatty or fried foods alongside this medication. If you experience vomiting, ensure you drink fluids in small quantities frequently. For persistent vomiting that indicates dehydration, consult your doctor for evaluation and advice.
