About Powergic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet

Powergic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet belongs to the class of drugs known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug' (NSAID). Powergic MR 250mg/50mg/325mg Tablet is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post surgery inflammation and oedema (swollen tissue with fluid).

Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Third medicine i.e. Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant, helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.
