About Flexon Tablet

Flexon Tablet is a prescription medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It combines ibuprofen and paracetamol, two medicines that work through different mechanisms to provide effective pain relief and temperature control. It is commonly used for headaches, toothaches, muscle pain, back pain, joint discomfort, menstrual cramps, and fever associated with infections or other illnesses.

Take Flexon Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your condition, it may be taken when needed for symptom relief or on a regular schedule for short-term management of pain. Taking the medicine with food or milk may help reduce stomach irritation. Adequate rest, proper hydration, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also support recovery.

Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, stomach discomfort, heartburn, or dizziness. These effects are usually temporary and may improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, seek medical attention if you develop severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, black stools, difficulty breathing, severe skin reactions, or signs of liver problems.

Before taking Flexon Tablet , inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, or asthma. This medicine may not be suitable for people with severe liver impairment, active stomach bleeding, or known allergies to ibuprofen, paracetamol, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medicine, as alcohol may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and liver-related side effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are older than 65 years, so they can determine whether this medicine is appropriate for you.

How Flexon Tablet Works

Flexon Tablet contains ibuprofen and paracetamol. Together, these medicines help relieve pain and reduce fever through complementary mechanisms. Reduces Pain Signals: Paracetamol acts primarily within the central nervous system to help reduce pain perception and lower fever. Reduces Inflammation: Ibuprofen blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins that contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation. Controls Fever: Both ingredients contribute to lowering elevated body temperature by acting on the body's temperature-regulating mechanisms. By combining these actions, Flexon Tablet helps provide effective relief from pain and fever.

Health Queries

What medication or treatment can I use to relieve penis pain that occurs after sexual intercourse or masturbation?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Post-activity penis pain is common and usually due to friction, mild irritation, or minor muscle strain. For relief, you can try: Rest: Pause sexual activity to allow the area to heal. Pain Relievers: Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce soreness. Soothing: Apply a cool compress or take a warm bath. Skin Care: For chafing, apply a plain, unscented moisturiser like petroleum jelly. Using adequate lubrication can prevent this in the future. If you notice persistent pain, swelling, discharge, or burning during urination, please consult a healthcare provider to rule out infections that may require specific prescription treatment.

I have general body pain, but my kidney function tests and thyroid levels are normal, and I have no history of diabetes or addiction. What medication should I take for pain relief?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

It is reassuring that your kidney, thyroid, and blood sugar tests are normal. For temporary relief of general body pain, over-the-counter options like acetaminophen (paracetamol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen are generally safe to use since your kidney function is healthy. However, these should only be used short-term. Since widespread pain can stem from various benign sources like vitamin D deficiency, lack of sleep, physical fatigue, or stress, please consult your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation to identify the root cause and receive a personalized treatment plan.
