  • Painful muscle spasms: Flexabenz Plus Tablet helps by relaxing the affected muscle and blocking the chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and swelling.
  • Acute lower back pain: It targets both the muscle tension and the underlying inflammation in the lower back, allowing for improved physical function.
  • Muscle strains and sprains: It relieves the acute discomfort and inflammatory pain associated with sudden stretching or tearing of muscles and ligaments.

 

Key Benefits

How Flexabenz Plus Tablet Works

Flexabenz Plus Tablet combines two active ingredients that work in different ways to relieve pain and relax muscles. The first active ingredient is aceclofenac, which belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the action of specific chemical messengers in the body, called prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain, redness, and swelling at the site of injury. The second active ingredient is cyclobenzaprine, which is a muscle relaxant. It works directly on the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle spasms and stiffness. By calming the nervous system's signals to the muscles, it helps them relax, reducing tension and pain.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Stay well-hydrated: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps keep your muscles hydrated, which can reduce the frequency and severity of muscle spasms.
  • Apply heat or cold packs: Using an ice pack for the first 48 hours after a muscle strain can reduce swelling. After that, switching to a warm compress can help relax tight muscles.
  • Practice gentle stretching: Once the acute pain begins to ease, perform light, low-impact stretching exercises as recommended by a physical therapist to restore flexibility.

Health Queries

I am suffering from HLA-B27-related joint and back pain, and the discomfort has become very severe lately. Can I use Flexabenz Plus for this condition, or is there any other medicine that may help reduce the pain better?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

HLA-B27-related pain is often due to inflammatory conditions affecting the spine, joints, hips, neck, or nearby muscles. Pain and stiffness may worsen after rest, prolonged sitting, or in the early morning. Flexabenz Plus can help reduce muscle spasms and temporary pain for some individuals, but it may not address underlying inflammation. Regular stretching, posture correction, physiotherapy, light exercise, and avoiding prolonged inactivity can help reduce stiffness and improve mobility. Warm compresses and proper sleep support may also relieve discomfort. Avoid long-term use of pain medications without medical supervision, as some can affect the stomach, kidneys, or liver. Treatment depends on the severity of inflammation and the areas involved. Please consult a doctor if pain is severe, accompanied by morning stiffness, swelling, eye redness, fever, or difficulty walking, as specialised care and regular follow-up may be required.

I am 80 years old and have taken Flexabenz Plus twice daily for 3 days with some relief. Can I safely continue it for 2 more days?

Flexabenz Plus contains aceclofenac and cyclobenzaprine. Even though you have taken it twice daily for 3 days with some relief, you should not continue it further without consulting your doctor, especially at the age of 80, because of possible side effects and drug interactions.
