How Redfen Forte Products work
Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone is a combination of two pain relievers (Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone1, Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone2) and a muscle relaxant (Ibuprofen + Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone3). The pain relievers work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). The muscle relaxant works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve movement of muscles.
