Product Overview
What is Flexabenz Plus Tablet SR?
Flexabenz Plus Tablet SR combines a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory ingredient with a muscle relaxant. This combination can be useful when painful muscle conditions are accompanied by stiffness or spasms.
The SR in the name indicates a sustained-release formulation, designed to release the medicine gradually. The tablet should generally be swallowed whole with water rather than crushed or chewed.
How Does Flexabenz Plus Tablet SR Work?
Aceclofenac helps decrease the production of certain substances responsible for pain and inflammation. This can help reduce tenderness, swelling, and discomfort associated with musculoskeletal problems.
Cyclobenzaprine works mainly through the central nervous system. It helps reduce abnormal muscle activity and muscle spasms, which may improve movement and reduce stiffness.
Together, these ingredients provide relief when pain and muscle spasm occur at the same time.

The combination may be used for painful conditions involving muscles, joints, and soft tissues. It can help manage discomfort associated with muscle stiffness and spasms, particularly during acute musculoskeletal problems.
Common situations where this combination may be used include:
