Bakflex Plus Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac, and Paracetamol. Bakflex Plus Tablet is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, bone and joint pain. Bakflex Plus Tablet increases the pain threshold and blood flow across the skin. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant which works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are analgesics that block the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical, prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Bakflex Plus Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
