Mobizox is a brand name for a tablet medication that contains three active ingredients, chlorzoxazone, paracetamol/acetaminophen, and diclofenac sodium. This medication primarily treats painful muscle spasms and inflammation in sprains, strains, and back pain.
The recommended dosage of Mobizox tablets is usually one tablet as directed by your doctor, depending on the severity/seriousness of the pain and the patient's medical history. You must follow the doctor or pharmacist's dosage instructions to avoid any potential side effects.
Some common side effects of Mobizox tablets include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. In rare cases, this medication can cause more serious side effects, such as liver damage or allergic reactions. It is imperative to see a doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
Mobizox Tablet is used to treat muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions), musculoskeletal pain caused by soft tissue injury (muscles, tendons, and ligaments), post-operative inflammation, and oedema (swollen tissue containing fluid). Pain can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Sprains, strains, injuries, and post-surgical inflammation and discomfort may take a long time to heal. The body produces natural substances, such as prostaglandin, which activate pain receptors and cause pain. A muscle spasm is an uncomfortable and painful involuntary contraction of the muscle.
Mobizox composition
Chlorzoxazone: It is a muscle relaxant that blocks nerve impulses (or pain sensations) sent to the brain. It is used to treat acute musculoskeletal pain, such as that caused by sprains, strains, and other injuries. Chlorzoxazone is believed to work by affecting the central nervous system rather than acting directly on the muscles themselves.
Diclofenac: It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Diclofenac treats various conditions, including arthritis, menstrual cramps, and acute musculoskeletal pain.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen: It is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and fever. Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is commonly used to treat headaches, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and other mild to moderate pain types.
