Is Powergesic MR Advisable For Neck Sprain?
I have a neck sprain for the past 1 week. The doctor advised me to use a heat pack and acetofenac medication tablets. It has healed around 80% but even with exercises it has still not recovered fully. Now I have been advised to use Powergesic MR Is it a safe option?

Powergesic MR tablets contain NSAID and Muscle relaxant. This medicines are usually safe until you are suffering from a heart or a renal (kidney) disease. I would suggest you to do hot fomentation and exercises as they are the mainstay of treatment. Use the above tablets only on SOS (as and when needed) basis.
