Diclofenac Potassium 50mg + Metaxalone 400mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Diclofenac Potassium 50mg + Metaxalone 400mg combines diclofenac, an NSAID pain reliever, with metaxalone, a skeletal muscle relaxant, for painful muscle spasm where both inflammation/pain and muscle tightness are contributing. It may be used for acute back pain, neck spasm, sprains, strains, or musculoskeletal injury as part of a short-term plan that may also include rest, heat/ice, stretching, and physiotherapy. Diclofenac reduces prostaglandin-driven pain and inflammation, while metaxalone acts centrally to reduce muscle spasm and discomfort. This combination is not meant for long-term unsupervised pain control. Avoid duplicate NSAIDs and avoid alcohol unless the clinician confirms safety.

How to use

Take Diclofenac Potassium 50mg + Metaxalone 400mg exactly as prescribed. Avoid driving or machinery until you know how it affects alertness. Do not combine with alcohol, sedatives, or other NSAIDs unless advised. Use alongside the movement/rehabilitation plan provided.

How it works
