Diclorevon MR

Uses of Diclorevon MR

• Back pain, neck pain and shoulder pain with muscle spasm
• Sprains, strains and other soft-tissue injuries
• Painful musculoskeletal conditions with stiffness

Prescribing decisions rest with the registered medical practitioner.

How Diclorevon MR works

Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID) that blocks prostaglandins, the chemicals behind pain and swelling. Paracetamol adds pain and fever relief. Chlorzoxazone acts on the spinal cord to relax muscles in spasm.

How to use Diclorevon MR

• Take it exactly as prescribed, with or after food to protect the stomach.
• Swallow the tablet with water. Use it for the shortest time needed.

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on as usual. Never take two doses together to make up for it.

Safety advice

AlcoholAvoid

Alcohol with an anti-inflammatory painkiller raises the risk of stomach bleeding, and with paracetamol it strains the liver. Avoid it.

PregnancyAvoid

Anti-inflammatory painkillers are generally avoided in pregnancy, especially in the last three months. Use only if a doctor advises.

BreastfeedingAsk your doctor

Ask a doctor before use while breastfeeding.

DrivingUse with caution

The muscle relaxant can cause drowsiness or dizziness. Do not drive or operate machinery if affected.

KidneyUse with caution

Anti-inflammatory painkillers can affect the kidneys. Tell your doctor about any kidney disease.

LiverUse with caution

Use with caution in liver disease; paracetamol is processed by the liver.

Medicines that may interact with Diclorevon MR

Tell your doctor about every medicine you take, especially:

• Other painkillers, including other medicines that contain paracetamol (risk of overdose)

• Blood pressure medicines and diuretics
• Sedatives and sleeping pills

Tips

• Do not take any other medicine containing paracetamol at the same time.
• Rest the affected muscle and use it gently as pain allows.
