Seclofen TZ 100mg/2mg Tablet

Seclofen TZ 100mg/2mg Tablet contains Aceclofenac (100mg) and Tizanidine (2mg). This combination is prescribed for the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain associated with muscle spasms. It is commonly used in conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, sprains, post-traumatic muscle stiffness, and musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis or spondylitis.

Aceclofenac helps reduce pain and inflammation, while Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses to relax tense muscles. Together, they provide effective relief from pain and stiffness, improve mobility, and enhance recovery.
