Dynapar MR 8 Tablet

Introduction

Dynapar MR is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: Thiocolchicoside and Diclofenac. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, while Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This combination medication is commonly used for the relief of muscle spasms and associated pain.

Uses

Dynapar MR is primarily prescribed for the treatment of muscle spasms and related pain. It is commonly used in conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, and muscular sprains and strains. The medication helps to relax the muscles and reduce inflammation, providing relief from pain and discomfort.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Dynapar MR may vary depending on the severity of the condition and individual patient factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, the usual adult dosage is one tablet taken orally twice daily, preferably with meals. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets.

Mechanism of Action

Thiocolchicoside, one of the active ingredients in Dynapar MR, works by acting directly on the muscles, helping to relieve muscle spasms and stiffness. It does this by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals that are involved in muscle contraction. Diclofenac, the other active ingredient, works by reducing the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Together, these two ingredients provide a dual mechanism of action to alleviate muscle spasms and associated pain.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and stomach upset. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or allergic reactions, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Dynapar MR may interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, other NSAIDs, and certain antidepressants. These interactions can increase the risk of side effects or affect the effectiveness of the medications. Always consult your healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication while taking Dynapar MR.

Precautions

Before taking Dynapar MR, inform your healthcare professional if you have any known allergies, particularly to Thiocolchicoside, Diclofenac, or other NSAIDs. Disclose any existing medical conditions, especially if you have a history of stomach ulcers, kidney or liver disease, or heart problems. This medication may not be suitable for everyone, and your healthcare professional will determine if it is appropriate for you.

Storage

Dynapar MR should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the medication out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the tablets beyond the expiration date printed on the packaging. If you have any unused or expired medication, consult your pharmacist for proper disposal methods.
