Skebazor 15mg/200mg Tablet

Introduction

Skebazor is a prescription medication that combines the active ingredients Cyclobenzaprine and Aceclofenac. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, while Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This combination medication is commonly used to provide relief from muscle spasms and pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions.

Uses

Skebazor is primarily prescribed for the treatment of muscle spasms and pain caused by conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and injuries. It can also be used to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with conditions like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis.

Dosage and Administration

follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The usual recommended dosage for Skebazor is one tablet taken orally with a glass of water, usually twice daily. However, individual dosages may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s response to treatment. It is advisable to take the medication as prescribed and not exceed the recommended dosage.

Mechanism of Action

Skebazor works by combining the effects of its two active ingredients, Cyclobenzaprine and Aceclofenac. Cyclobenzaprine acts as a muscle relaxant, helping to reduce muscle spasms and promote muscle relaxation. Aceclofenac, on the other hand, is an NSAID that helps to reduce inflammation and relieve pain by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body. Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from muscle pain and discomfort.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, and upset stomach. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.

In rare cases, Skebazor may cause more serious side effects such as allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe stomach pain. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Skebazor may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, other muscle relaxants, and certain antidepressants. Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. They can provide guidance on the safe use of Skebazor and any necessary adjustments to your medication regimen.

Precautions

Before starting Skebazor, inform your healthcare professional about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or sensitivities you may have. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions such as liver or kidney disease, heart problems, or a history of stomach ulcers. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Skebazor, as it may increase the risk of side effects.
