Hello,

You need a medicine for spinal muscle pain as Parafon forte is not available at your place. Parafon Forte DSC brand name has been discontinued in some parts of the world due to some patients reporting intolerance or side effects. It causes hepatoxicity, gastrointestinal bleeding, allergy, petechiae, anaphylactic reactions, etc.

In case you experience the above said side effects, you should report to your treating physician. For relief, you can take a combination medicine of Paracetamol + Chlorzoxazone, it is available at the marketplace.

A combination of Paracetamol and Chlorzoxazone, will be helpful. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant. It works by acting on the canters in the brain and spinal cord to relieve the muscle stiffness or spasm. Take the medicine after food.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
