How Geofenac Tablet MR works
Geofenac Tablet MR is a combination of three medicines. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicines. They act as analgesics (pain reliever). They work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm without a reduction in strength. This improves pain and movement of muscles. This is how it works to treat muscle pain.
