Flexon MR Tablet 10's
Flexon MR Tablet 10's
Flexon MR Tablet 10's
Flexon MR Tablet is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain and muscle spasm due to tissue injury, resolution of post surgery inflammation and oedema (swollen tissue with fluid). It works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Also, it helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes the relaxation of muscles. It may cause side effects such as nausea, indigestion, diarrhoea, drowsiness, dizziness, heartburn, stomach pain and restlessness. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Health Queries

I have muscle pain in my legs during rest, especially while sleeping at night. What should I do?

Muscle pain in the legs at rest or during the night can occur due to muscle strain, poor circulation, or mineral imbalance. Gentle stretching, staying well hydrated, and light daily activity may help reduce the discomfort. Try to maintain good sleep posture and avoid overexertion during the day. Consult a doctor if the pain persists or worsens.

I have been experiencing muscle spasm pain for the past month. I have already consulted an orthopaedic doctor and started medications, but the pain is only slowly decreasing. What else can I do for relief?

Since your muscle spasm pain is slowly improving, you can support recovery with gentle stretching, light exercise, and applying warm compresses to relax the muscles. Maintaining good posture, staying active, and avoiding heavy lifting can also help. Massage or physiotherapy may provide additional relief. If the pain persists, worsens, or affects daily activities, follow up with your orthopedic doctor to review your treatment and explore other options.

I experience back muscle spasms during sleep, which disturbs my sleep. How can it be treated?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Back muscle spasms during sleep are often caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or sleeping in an awkward position. To relieve them, try stretching your back gently before bed, using a supportive mattress and pillow, and applying a warm compress to the affected area. Staying active during the day and doing strengthening exercises for your back and core muscles can help prevent spasms. If the spasms are severe, frequent, or accompanied by numbness or weakness, it is best to consult a doctor or physiotherapist for proper evaluation and treatment.

What is a remedy for severe cramping in the left side back muscle?

Rest, mild stretching, warm compresses, and sufficient electrolyte consumption can all help reduce severe back muscle cramping. See a physician to rule out muscle strain, neurological problems, or mineral deficiencies if the pain is severe or persistent.

I have severe neck and shoulder pain due to a muscle spasm, which worsens with movement. The pain suddenly increased, and I have taken a Flexon MR Tablet, but I am unable to lift my neck while lying on the bed. What should I do?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

The inability to lift your neck after a severe muscle spasm may indicate a cervical disc injury or nerve compression. Continue taking Flexon MR Tablet (a painkiller and muscle relaxant) as prescribed for short-term relief. Rest your neck and avoid sudden or excessive movements. Apply a warm compress to the affected area to help relieve muscle stiffness. If the pain or stiffness persists or worsens, consult a doctor or an orthopaedist for a detailed evaluation, imaging, and appropriate treatment.
