MR 250 Tablet belongs to the class of drugs known as analgesics and muscle relaxants. It is primarily indicated for the relief of severe skeletal muscle spasms associated with painful conditions such as low back pain, sprain, strain, myalgia (muscle pain), headache, traumatic muscle injuries, cervical root and disc syndrome, torticollis (neck muscle contractions), and fibrositis (pain and inflammation of muscles). Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions of muscle, which can be painful.

MR 250 Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (Analgesic) and Chlorzoxazone (Muscle relaxant). Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Chlorzoxazone acts on the brain and spinal cord centres, where it inhibits the multisynaptic reflex involved in muscle spasms, thereby providing relief from skeletal muscle spasms. Together, MR 250 Tablet helps in relieving musculoskeletal pain.
