How it works
Zoxus 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.

What is Zoxus MR Tablet?
Zoxus MR Tablet is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medication helps in relieving muscle pain. Chlorzoxazone acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles. Diclofenac and Paracetamol work by lowering the chemical substance (prostaglandins) in the body that causes pain and inflammation.
Is Zoxus MR Tablet safe to use?
Zoxus MR Tablet is generally considered safe for most patients. However, some individuals may experience common side effects such as 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 while using this medication, immediately inform your doctor.
Can I stop taking Zoxus MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
You should continue taking Zoxus MR Tablet only as prescribed by your doctor. However, if you are using it for short-term pain relief, discontinuation may be possible.
Can the use of Zoxus MR Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, taking Zoxus MR Tablet can potentially lead to nausea and vomiting. If you experience nausea while taking this medication, try consuming it with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid consuming fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips. Consult your doctor if nausea persists or you notice signs of dehydration such as dark-colored urine and reduced urination frequency. Do not take any other medicine without consulting your doctor.
