Hi,

Instaflex capsule is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lower back pain, muscle stiffness and many more. But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own. It may cause heart failure. As Instaflex capsule may increase the risk of developing heart failure, so it is usually not recommended to take after a heart surgery. If your doctor will advise you to take this medication, only then you can take this medication according to your doctor's advice. Otherwise, you should not take this medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
