FAQs

What is Zefort 250 mg/50 mg/500 mg Tablet MR?

Zefort 250 mg/50 mg/500 mg Tablet MR is a combination of three medicines: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and Chlorzoxazone. This medication helps in relieving muscle pain.

Inform your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any persistent problem due to the medication.

Can I stop taking Zefort 250 mg/50 mg/500 mg Tablet MR when my pain is relieved?
