How Duragesic Tablets 1 works

Paracetamol relieves pain by reducing the production of pain-signalling chemicals in the brain. Orphenadrine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that eases muscle spasm, and it also has an anticholinergic effect. Relaxing the tight muscles while blocking pain helps restore movement more comfortably.
