Diclofenac 50 mg + Paracetamol 325 mg + Chlorzoxazone 250 mgDicovel-MR Forte

How Dicovel-MR Forte works

This is a combination, and each component handles a different part of the problem. Diclofenac inhibits cyclo-oxygenase, the enzyme that produces prostaglandins. In an inflamed tooth or gum, prostaglandins are what sensitise the nerve endings and drive the swelling, so blocking them reduces the pain and the inflammation causing it rather than merely dulling the sensation. Paracetamol raises the pain threshold centrally and brings down fever by acting on the hypothalamus. Paired with an anti-inflammatory it adds pain relief through a separate route, so the combination controls dental pain better than either component at the same dose alone. Chlorzoxazone acts on the spinal cord and brainstem to reduce the reflex muscle spasm that follows injury or prolonged dental work. Jaw muscles that have been held open or have gone into spasm around an inflamed tooth contribute a large part of the discomfort, and relaxing them addresses that component directly. One preparation therefore covers what would otherwise need two or three.
