How it works
Seflam-CZ 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.

Seflam-CZ Tablet is generally safe for most patients.

If you experience persistent problems, inform your doctor immediately.
Can I stop taking Seflam-CZ Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Seflam-CZ Tablet should be continued as prescribed by your doctor unless it's for short-term pain relief. If you are using it for a specific duration, please continue to take it until the time limit has passed.
Can Seflam-CZ Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Seflam-CZ Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience these symptoms, consider taking your medication with milk, food or antacids. Avoid fatty or fried foods while using this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or fluids by sipping frequently. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists, and notice signs of dehydration such as dark-colored urine and infrequent urination.
