Aceclofenac Paracetamol And Chlorzoxazone
Q What is Rklock-MR used for?
Rklock-MR is a combination medicine used to provide relief from muscular pain, inflammation, and swelling. It is specifically effective for treating painful muscle spasms associated with musculoskeletal conditions, such as strains, sprains, and back pain, as well as post-surgery recovery.
Q What are the active ingredients in Rklock-MR?
Rklock-MR contains three potent ingredients: Diclofenac Potassium (50mg): An NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation. Paracetamol (325mg): An analgesic and antipyretic that boosts pain relief and lowers fever. Chlorzoxazone (250mg): A muscle relaxant that works on the central nervous system to relieve stiffness and spasms.
Q How does Rklock-MR help with muscle spasms?
The medication works through a "triple action" formula. While Diclofenac and Paracetamol block the chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that signal pain and cause swelling, Chlorzoxazone relaxes the muscles by acting on the spinal cord and brain to dampen the reflexes that cause stiffness.
Q What is the recommended dosage for Rklock-MR?
The dosage is determined by your doctor based on the severity of your pain. Generally, it is taken once or twice a day. Do not exceed the prescribed dose, as taking too much Paracetamol can lead to serious liver damage.
Q Should I take Rklock-MR with food?
Yes, it is highly recommended to take Rklock-MR with food or milk. Taking it on an empty stomach may increase the risk of gastric irritation, acidity, or stomach upset.
Q Can Rklock-MR cause drowsiness?
Yes, drowsiness and dizziness are common side effects due to the muscle relaxant component (Chlorzoxazone). It is advised to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects your alertness.
Q Are there any common side effects of Rklock-MR?

Q Can I consume alcohol while taking Rklock-MR?

Q Can I take other painkillers like Aspirin with Rklock-MR?
