Painkiller, Anti-inflammatory, Muscle Relaxant (combination)
Last reviewed July 2026
Who is this for?
This is a combination tablet containing three medicines: diclofenac (a painkiller and anti-inflammatory), paracetamol (for pain and fever), and chlorzoxazone (a muscle relaxant) that work together to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and relax stiff or tight muscles.
Inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes (diclofenac) and COX-3 in the CNS (paracetamol), reducing prostaglandin synthesis to decrease pain and inflammation; simultaneously enhances GABAergic and glycinergic neurotransmission in the spinal cord (chlorzoxazone), suppressing pain signal transmission and relieving muscle spasms.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but only if it is close to the time you would normally take it. If your next dose is almost due, just skip the missed one. Never take two tablets at once to make up for a missed dose.
Only buy from licensed pharmacies, avoid roadside sellers or open market drugs as fake versions are common in Nigeria. This is not a drug you should take every day for a long time. If your pain continues beyond a week, see a doctor. Do not share your tablets with others even if they have similar symptoms, as it may not be safe for them.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this drug as it increases the risk of stomach bleeding and liver damage. Do not combine with other painkillers like ibuprofen or aspirin as this doubles the risk of stomach problems. If you are taking blood-thinning drugs like warfarin, talk to your doctor first as diclofenac can increase the risk of bleeding.
