Flugesic P Tablet 10's is a combination medication that belongs to the analgesic medication class. It is widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, fever, headache, joint pains, dysmenorrhea (period pain), postoperative pain, toothache after dental extraction, and myalgia (muscle pain).
