Mylaxol Tablet

Introduction

Mylaxol is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Methocarbamol. It is commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with various conditions.

Uses

Mylaxol is indicated for the management of pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, muscle sprains and strains, back pain, and postoperative pain.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Mylaxol should be determined by your healthcare provider and may vary depending on the severity of your condition. Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Typically, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet taken orally, with or without food, three times a day. However, please consult your healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage tailored to your specific needs.

Mechanism of Action

Mylaxol contains three active ingredients with different mechanisms of action. Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Paracetamol is a pain reliever and fever reducer that works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the brain. Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant that works by reducing muscle spasms.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal upset, such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. It may also cause drowsiness, dizziness, or headache.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur. These can include severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or signs of liver or kidney problems. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

Mylaxol may interact with other medications, including but not limited to blood thinners, certain antidepressants, and certain heart medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

This medication should be used with caution in elderly patients, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and individuals with a history of asthma or allergic reactions to NSAIDs.
