Q. Can the use of Buflex MR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Buflex MR can cause nausea and vomiting. Taking it with milk, food or with antacids can prevent nausea. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.

Do not take any other medicine without speaking to a doctor.
Q. Can the use of Buflex MR cause dizziness?

Q. Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Buflex MR?
The use of Buflex MR is considered to be harmful for patients with known allergy to painkiller (NSAIDS) or any of the components or excipients of this medicine. The use of this medicine should preferably be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcer or in patients with active or recurrent stomach ulcer / bleeding. It should also be avoided in patients with history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
Q. Can the Buflex MR be used with Vitamin B-complex?
