How it works
This combination tablet works by leveraging the individual actions of its three components to provide comprehensive relief.
Aceclofenac: This is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of chemical messengers in the body that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Paracetamol: Also known as acetaminophen, this drug is an analgesic and antipyretic. It reduces pain and fever by inhibiting certain enzymes.
Chlorzoxazone: This is a muscle relaxant that works on the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to relieve muscle stiffness and spasms, which helps to improve muscle movement.
