Mobizox: Frequently Asked Questions Answered
What is Mobizox?
Mobizox combines two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – diclofenac and paracetamol – and a centrally-acting muscle relaxant, chlorzoxazone. It treats moderate to severe pain resulting from inflammations in the joints, bones, and muscles.
The combination’s synergistic effect relieves pain by blocking the action of prostaglandins that produce pain and swelling. It relaxes the muscle tone by acting on the central nervous system (CNS). It prevents the CNS from sending nerve signals to the brain. In this way, you do not feel pain.
