Flexofan Chlorzoxazone 250Mg Ketoprofen 50 Mg 20 Capsules

Description:

Flexofan Chlorzoxazone 250 mg Ketoprofen 50 mg is an oral prescription medicine presented in capsule form, combining a centrally acting muscle relaxant (chlorzoxazone) with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) (ketoprofen). It is formulated to relieve painful muscle spasms, reduce inflammation, and ease musculoskeletal pain associated with acute conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and muscle strain. Flexofan is typically used alongside rest, physical therapy, and other supportive measures to restore mobility and improve comfort in adults.

Indications:

• Relief of acute, painful muscle spasms of the skeletal muscles.
• Management of musculoskeletal pain associated with sprains, strains, and soft tissue injuries.
• Adjunctive treatment in low back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain due to muscle spasm.
• Relief of pain and stiffness associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions where both muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory action are needed.
• Used in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other analgesics as advised by the physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Chlorzoxazone – 250 mg per capsule (centrally acting muscle relaxant and mild sedative).
• Ketoprofen – 50 mg per capsule (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug – NSAID).
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: Information not available in the provided data. Refer to the package insert for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult dose (for guidance only – always follow your doctor’s instructions): commonly 1 capsule taken 2–3 times daily, depending on severity and clinical judgment. Exact regimen must be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• It is generally recommended to take with food or after meals to help reduce gastrointestinal irritation associated with NSAIDs like ketoprofen.
• Duration of treatment is usually short-term for acute conditions. Do not use for prolonged periods without medical supervision.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Do not use in children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides dual action relief by combining a muscle relaxant (chlorzoxazone) with an anti-inflammatory analgesic (ketoprofen) for more comprehensive control of musculoskeletal pain.
• Helps reduce painful muscle spasms by acting centrally on the nervous system to decrease abnormal muscle tone and improve mobility.
• Decreases inflammation, swelling, and pain at the site of injury or strain through the NSAID action of ketoprofen.
• Improves comfort and functional capacity, supporting faster return to normal daily activities when used with rest and physical therapy.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to chlorzoxazone, ketoprofen, other NSAIDs, or any component of the formulation.
• Do not use in patients with a history of aspirin- or NSAID-induced asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions.
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe heart failure, severe liver impairment, or severe renal impairment unless strictly supervised by a specialist.
• Chlorzoxazone may cause drowsiness or dizziness; avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Use with caution in patients with liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, bleeding disorders, or a history of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding.
• Alcohol may increase the risk of liver toxicity with chlorzoxazone and gastrointestinal side effects with ketoprofen; avoid or limit alcohol consumption.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. NSAIDs are generally not recommended, especially in the third trimester.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding, as components may pass into breast milk.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially other NSAIDs, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelets (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel), corticosteroids, diuretics, antihypertensives, lithium, methotrexate, or other hepatotoxic drugs.

• Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, indigestion, or diarrhea.
• Less common side effects can include rash, itching, or other mild allergic reactions.
