About Robinaxol Tablet

Robinaxol Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called 'muscle relaxants' used to reduce and relieve muscle spasms due to pain and injury. Besides this, it also treats tetanus conditions (lockjaw) which are characterized by painful tightening muscles. Muscle spasm is the sudden, painful, involuntary muscle contractions which occurs when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. Tetanus is a nervous system disorder leading to painful muscle contraction, mainly affecting the jaw and neck muscles. 

Robinaxol Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and fever reducer) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and antipyretic, which inhibits the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, thereby lowering pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain sensation (nerve impulse) sent to the brain. Thus, Robinaxol Tablet works on the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain), thereby maintaining muscle strength and relieving muscle spasms or stiffness. 

Take Robinaxol Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. Take Robinaxol Tablet 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 sleepiness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, weakness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are suggested to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Continue taking Robinaxol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Consult your doctor before taking Robinaxol Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will prescribe Robinaxol Tablet only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Robinaxol Tablet is not recommended for children unless prescribed by a doctor. Inform your doctor about your current medicines and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects. Do not take Robinaxol Tablet with other drugs like antidepressants that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous side effects or death. Avoid intake of Robinaxol Tablet in kidney disease conditions, seizures attack (fits/epilepsy) and muscle problems (myasthenia gravis).

Medicinal Benefits

Robinaxol Tablet consists of two medicines: Paracetamol (mild analgesic) and Methocarbamol (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic and fever reducer, which prevents the release of chemical mediators (prostaglandin) that cause pain, inflammation and fever. On the other hand, Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that stops sending a pain signal to the brain, relieving muscle stiffness or muscle spasm along with pain and injury. Together, Robinaxol Tablet treats painful muscle spasms associated with short-term muscle disorders, like spasms in the lower back, injuries, sprains and strains.
