How it works
Trio MR Tablet is a combination of a muscle relaxant (Chlorzoxazone) and two pain relieving medicines (Diclofenac and Paracetamol). The muscle relaxant works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm, thereby improving movement of muscles. The pain relieving medicines work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation.

Trio MR Tablet contains three active ingredients: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. It is used to relieve muscle pain. Chlorzoxazone acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles. Diclofenac and Paracetamol reduce the levels of prostaglandins in the body which cause pain and inflammation.
Is Trio MR Tablet safe for use?
Trio MR Tablet is generally safe for most patients. However, some people may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach upset, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dry mouth, weakness, drowsiness and other rare or uncommon side effects. If you experience persistent problems while taking the medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Should I stop taking Trio MR Tablet when my pain is relieved?
