Chlorzoxazone helps by blocking nerve impulses sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

- Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer), enhancing the pain-relieving effect of diclofenac.
- Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses or pain signals sent to the brain, leading to muscle relaxation.
