Flexpro Extra Tablets 20 Tablets

Flexpro Extra Tablets 20 Tablets

Description:

Flexpro Extra Tablets 20 Tablets are an oral prescription/over-the-counter medicine combining a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant (methocarbamol) with an analgesic and antipyretic (paracetamol/acetaminophen). This fixed-dose combination is designed to relieve acute painful musculoskeletal conditions by reducing muscle spasm, easing pain, and improving mobility. It is commonly used for back pain, neck pain, muscle strain, sprain, and other musculoskeletal injuries where muscle spasm and pain coexist.

Indications:

• Relief of acute painful musculoskeletal conditions associated with muscle spasm.
• Adjunctive treatment of low back pain and lumbago with muscle spasm.
• Management of neck pain, cervical muscle spasm, and torticollis (stiff neck) as prescribed.
• Relief of pain and muscle spasm due to muscle strain, sprain, sports injuries, and soft tissue trauma.
• Adjunct therapy in painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoarthritis or disc-related pain when muscle spasm is present (as directed by a physician).
• Symptomatic relief of muscle tension, tightness, and associated headache or discomfort caused by musculoskeletal spasm.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Methocarbamol – concentration per tablet is not specified in the available product information.
• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – concentration per tablet is not specified in the available product information.
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: not specified in the available product information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the package insert.
• Typical adult dosing for similar methocarbamol/paracetamol combinations is usually 3–4 times daily, but the exact dose and frequency for Flexpro Extra Tablets are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.) and must be confirmed from the product leaflet or your physician.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Can generally be taken with or after food to reduce the risk of stomach discomfort, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of paracetamol from all sources (including other pain or cold medications). If you are taking any other paracetamol-containing products, inform your doctor or pharmacist.
• Duration of use should be as short as possible. Do not use for more than a few days without medical supervision, especially in acute pain or muscle spasm.
• 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 one.
• For adults only, unless otherwise directed by a physician. Safety and dosing in children are not specified and require medical advice.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective relief of acute musculoskeletal pain by combining a muscle relaxant with an analgesic.
• Reduces skeletal muscle spasm through central nervous system action, improving comfort and mobility.
• Helps decrease the perception of pain and raises the pain threshold via paracetamol’s central analgesic effect.
• May improve range of motion and functional ability in affected muscles and joints when used alongside rest and physical measures.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) action due to paracetamol, which can be beneficial if pain is associated with mild fever.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic to methocarbamol, paracetamol (acetaminophen), or any of the excipients in the product.
• Contraindicated in severe liver impairment or active liver disease due to the paracetamol component.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of liver disease, chronic alcohol use, kidney impairment, or chronic malnutrition.
• Methocarbamol may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or blurred vision. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid concurrent use with other central nervous system depressants (such as alcohol, sedatives, or certain psychiatric medications) unless specifically approved by your doctor.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of paracetamol; overdose can cause serious, potentially fatal liver damage.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), other painkillers, sedatives, antiepileptics, or any herbal supplements.
• Stop use and seek medical advice if pain or muscle spasm persists for more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by severe symptoms such as weakness, numbness, chest pain, or difficulty breathing.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects (usually mild and transient): drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort.
• Less common side effects: blurred vision, confusion, impaired coordination, metallic taste, or mild skin rash.
• Paracetamol-related rare but serious side effects: severe skin reactions, allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of face/lips/tongue, difficulty breathing), or signs of liver problems (yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, persistent nausea, abdominal pain).
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, severe abdominal pain, or signs of overdose (nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sweating, confusion).
