FAQs
What is Siozox Tablet?
Siozox Tablet is a combination of three medicines: diclofenac, paracetamol, and chlorzoxazone. This medication helps relieve muscle pain. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant that works by acting on the central nervous system. Diclofenac and paracetamol work by lowering the chemical substance (prostaglandins) in the body that causes pain and inflammation.
Can I stop taking Siozox Tablet when my pain is relieved?
Siozox Tablet should be continued if advised for a specific time duration by your doctor. However, it can be discontinued if you are using it for short-term pain relief.
Can the use of Siozox Tablet cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Siozox Tablet can cause nausea and vomiting. In case you experience nausea while taking this medicine, take it with milk, food, or antacids. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small, frequent sips. Talk to your doctor if vomiting persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like dark-colored, strong-smelling, and infrequent urination. Do not take any other medicine without speaking to your doctor.
Can the use of Siozox Tablet cause dizziness?
Yes, the use of Siozox Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.
Can the use of Siozox Tablet cause damage to the kidneys?
