CompositionFlexon MR Tablet is used to manage musculoskeletal pain where inflammation and muscle tightness occur together. It contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, paracetamol, which relieves pain, and chlorzoxazone, a muscle relaxant; together they reduce swelling, ease painful muscle stiffness, and improve movement, which makes it useful for back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, sprains, and muscle spasms.
Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually after meals to reduce stomach upset, and do not use it for longer than recommended. Because it contains a muscle relaxant, it may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you. Consult your doctor before starting, and tell them about any history of liver disease or stomach problems.
