Triple-Action Relief for Pain and Muscle Spasms
No-Ach Tablets are a highly effective combination medication formulated to provide comprehensive relief from acute musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, and muscle stiffness. Marketed in Nigeria by Pharma Ethics Limited, No-Ach combines an NSAID, an analgesic, and a muscle relaxant to target discomfort from multiple angles.
How No-Ach Tablets Work
Each No-Ach tablet contains a potent blend of three active ingredients:
- Aceclofenac (100mg): A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and swelling at the site of injury.
- Paracetamol (500mg): A trusted analgesic that enhances pain relief and helps manage fever.
- Chlorzoxazone (250mg): A centrally-acting muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle spasms and stiffness.
Common No-Ach Tablet Uses
No-Ach is widely prescribed in Nigeria for several painful conditions, including:
- Lower Back Pain: Provides relief from "waist pain" and spinal discomfort.
- Muscle Spasms: Relaxes stiff muscles resulting from strains, sprains, or overexertion.
- Arthritis and Spondylitis: Manages inflammation and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
- Post-Traumatic Pain: Effective for managing pain after minor injuries or surgical procedures.
Adult Dosage for No-Ach
The standard adult dosage for No-Ach is one tablet taken twice daily. To reduce the risk of stomach irritation, it is recommended to take the tablets after meals with a full glass of water. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Important Safety Information
- Drowsiness: Due to the muscle relaxant (Chlorzoxazone), No-Ach may cause significant drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after use.
- Stomach Ulcers: Individuals with active gastrointestinal ulcers or a history of bleeding should use this medication with caution or avoid it, as Aceclofenac can irritate the stomach.
- Consult a Professional: If you have liver or kidney concerns, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please speak with a GoMed pharmacist before starting this medication.
