How it works
Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg 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 (redness and swelling).

Frequently asked questions
What is Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet?
Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet contains three active ingredients: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medication is used to relieve muscle pain. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant that works by acting on the central nervous system. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by lowering the chemical substance (prostaglandins) in the body that causes pain and inflammation.
Is Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet safe to use?
Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet is generally safe for most patients. However, it may cause common side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dryness in the mouth, weakness, sleepiness, and other uncommon or rare side effects. If you experience any persistent problems, inform your doctor immediately.
When should I stop taking Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet?
Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet should be continued as prescribed by your doctor for the recommended duration of treatment.

Can Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, using Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience nausea while taking this medication, consider consuming it with milk, food or antacids.

Do not take any other medication without discussing it with your doctor.
Can Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, using Mongesic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it is best to rest for a while and resume only when you feel better.
