DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL belongs to a class of medications known as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or pain killer. DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL is widely useful for the treatment of painful musculoskeletal joint conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankle pain. Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain in the muscles, ligaments, bones, tendons, and nerves. This pain occurs in just one area of the body, like your back. You can also have it all over your body if you have a widespread situation like fibromyalgia (extreme muscle pain).
DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE+DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL contains three medicines namely dextropropoxyphene, diclofenac, and paracetamol. Dextropropoxyphene is a very strong pain reliever known as an opioid analgesic that works by stopping the communication of pain signals to the brain to lower pain sensitivity. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. On the other hand, paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer), which enhances the pain relief action of Diclofenac. Additionally, it also helps to relieve other musculoskeletal-related pain.

Musculoskeletal pain: It refers to pain in the muscles, ligaments, bones, tendons, and nerves. This pain occurs in just one area of the body, like your back. You can also have it all over your body if you have a widespread situation like fibromyalgia (extreme muscle pain). The pain can vary from mild to severe sufficient to affect your day-to-day life. It may start unexpectedly and be short-lived, which is known as acute pain. Pain that lasts for more than 3 to 6 months is known as chronic pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis: It is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting various joints (hands and feet). In this long-term condition, our body's immune system attacks its own tissue (including joints).
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the common type of arthritis in which the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones erodes due to wear and tear over time. Common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness.
