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.
