Pregnancy interaction

• Aceclofenac, paracetamol, and chlorzoxazone are included in the ACIMOL-MR tablet.
• Use is not suggested during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because aceclofenac (an NSAID) can change how blood flows to the fetus and make labor start later.
• First and second trimesters: Only use if a doctor says it's okay and the advantages exceed the hazards.
• Breastfeeding: Paracetamol is usually safe; however, aceclofenac and chlorzoxazone might go into breast milk. Only use with a doctor's supervision.

How It Works

• Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID) that stops the body from making prostaglandins, which helps with pain and swelling.
• Paracetamol (acetaminophen) works on the brain's heat-regulating region to assist in lowering fever and relieving pain.
• Chlorzoxazone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that works on the spinal cord to ease muscle spasms and stiffness.
• When used together, they work well to relieve pain, muscle tightness, and inflammation, making it easier to move and feel better.

Medicines interaction

• Other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and diclofenac, may make your stomach hurt more and raise your chance of getting ulcers.
• Drugs that make you sleepy, calm you down, or alcohol can make you sleepier or damage your liver.
• Anticoagulants (warfarin) raise the risk of bleeding.
• Corticosteroids—greater risk of stomach hemorrhage.
• Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, diuretics) may make it harder to manage blood pressure.
• Hepatotoxic medications (such as rifampicin and phenytoin) can make adverse liver effects worse.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you use.

How to Use

• After meals, take one pill with a full glass of water.
• Do not crumble or chew; just swallow.
• If you use it every day, take it at the same time each day.
• If you forget to take a dose, do it as soon as you can. Don't take two doses; just skip if it's near to the next one.
