How it works
Nimesulide blocks the action of certain natural substances that are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. Paracetamol works by increasing the pain threshold and decreasing swelling. It also brings down elevated body temperature by acting on heat regulatory centers in the brain. Chlorzoxazone acts on the spinal cord and brain to reduce impulses responsible for muscle spasms.
