Aceclofenac + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone Tablets come with the branding “ACIVO-MR” and are used for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Muscle pain, also known as myalgia, can result from illness, injury, or excessive exercise, and can be constant or occasional.
Aceclofenac + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone Tablets combine three medicines: Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drug involving a group of drugs known as COX inhibitors, similar to Paracetamol, a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic, and Chlorzoxazone which is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant.
It helps to reduce inflammation by inhibiting the COX enzymes that synthesize prostaglandins and have a central nervous system effect on muscles, mimicking the action of relaxation, thus being useful in the treatment of muscle spasms due to traumas such as strains and sprains.
Medical Benefits
- This works by inhibiting the two COX enzymes that create prostaglandins, a natural chemical messenger involved in inflammation. These prostaglandins are synthesized at the place affected by damage or injury and lead to inflammation and cause pain.
- Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant that functions through its effect on the spinal cord as it reduces reflexes which can help to ease spasms, pain as well and stiffness in conditions involving blocked muscle strains and sprains.
