Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's

Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)' used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone, joint pain, headache, and period pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.
 
Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's contains Tizanidine (muscle relaxant), Aceclofenac (pain killer), and Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer). Tizanidine works on the brain's centres, thereby helping to relieve muscle stiffness and improve muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
 
You are advised to take Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established.

Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects/interactions.

Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's is a combination of three drugs, namely: Tizanidine, Aceclofenac, and Paracetamol. Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone and joint pain, headache, and period pain. Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant which works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are analgesics which work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make other chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Alcinac-MRX Tablet 10's helps in relieving pain and fever due to muscle spasms.

The pain can be mild or severe enough to interfere with your daily routine. Musculoskeletal pain could occur due to arthritis, osteoporosis, fractures, dislocations, problems with the bone structure or injury to the bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Symptoms of musculoskeletal pain include stiffness, swelling, redness, weakness, muscle spasms or twitching, trouble moving the affected area, soreness, cracking or popping sound at the joints.
