Both Dantrelax and Dantrelax Compound are used to relieve muscle spasms, but they differ in the active ingredients they contain, resulting in differences in their mechanism of action and specific uses. Understanding these differences helps determine the most appropriate medication for symptom relief.
Dantrelax Capsules Ingredients
Dantrolene capsules contain the active ingredient dantrolene. Dantrolene is a muscle relaxant that acts directly on skeletal muscles. It works by interfering with the release of calcium within muscle fibers, reducing the muscle's ability to contract and helping relieve spasms and stiffness.
Dantrelax compound Capsules Ingredients
Dantrelax Compound capsules contain a combination of two active ingredients that work together to relieve muscle spasms and associated pain:
Dantrolene: works in the same way as Dantralax capsules (a skeletal muscle relaxant).
Paracetamol: A pain reliever and antipyretic that works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain and nervous system.
