How it works
Seradic-MR 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
What is Seradic-MR Tablet and how does it work?
Seradic-MR Tablet is a combination medication that contains three active ingredients: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medication helps to relieve muscle pain by acting on the central nervous system (Chlorzoxazone), reducing prostaglandins in the body, which causes pain and inflammation (Diclofenac and Paracetamol).
Is Seradic-MR Tablet safe for most patients?
Seradic-MR Tablet is generally considered 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, and sleepiness. In some cases, more severe or rare side effects may occur. It's essential to inform your doctor if you experience any persistent problems.
Should I continue taking Seradic-MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Seradic-MR Tablet should be continued as directed by your doctor for a specific time duration, even if the initial pain is relieved. However, it can be discontinued if you're using it for short-term pain relief.
Can Seradic-MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, Seradic-MR Tablet may cause nausea and vomiting. If you experience nausea while taking this medication, take it with milk, food, or antacids to minimize discomfort.
