Intagesic MR

Product Overview

Intagesic MR is a combination medication containing Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone as active ingredients. This triple-action formulation is designed to effectively manage pain and muscle spasms, offering comprehensive relief for musculoskeletal disorders. The tablet form provides convenient administration for patients experiencing discomfort related to muscle and joint conditions.

Uses

This medication is prescribed for acute musculoskeletal disorders including muscle spasms, strains, sprains, and associated pain. It is particularly effective for conditions like lower back pain, cervical pain, and post-traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. The synergistic combination of Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone delivers rapid relief from both pain and muscle stiffness, enhancing mobility and facilitating return to normal activities.

How to Use

Administer orally with a full glass of water, preferably with meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. Tablets should be swallowed whole without crushing or chewing. Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage regimen. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment due to potential adverse interactions. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it’s nearly time for the next scheduled dose.

How it Works

The therapeutic effects result from complementary mechanisms of action: Diclofenac (NSAID) inhibits prostaglandin synthesis to reduce pain and inflammation; Paracetamol acts on central nervous system pain pathways; Chlorzoxazone provides muscle relaxation through CNS action. This multi-target approach ensures comprehensive management of musculoskeletal symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage should be individualized based on symptom severity and therapeutic response. Strictly follow medical advice regarding dosage and treatment duration. Exceeding recommended doses may increase adverse effects. Report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately for evaluation.
