FAQs

Will Proxym MR Tablet be more effective if taken in higher doses?

Taking a higher dose of this medicine will not enhance its effectiveness; instead, it may increase the risk of side effects. If your symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for a reassessment.

Can Proxym MR Tablet be stopped when my pain is relieved?

Proxym MR Tablet is usually used for short-term and can be discontinued when the pain is relieved. However, Proxym MR Tablet should be continued if the doctor advises you to do so.

Can the use of Proxym MR Tablet cause dizziness?

Yes, the use of Proxym MR Tablet can cause dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) in some patients. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it is better to rest for some time and resume once you feel better.

Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of Proxym MR Tablet?

Proxym MR Tablet should not be used by people who are allergic to painkillers or any ingredient in this medicine. The use of this medicine should preferably be avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or active, recurrent stomach ulcers/bleeding. It should also be avoided in patients with a history of heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.

Can the use of Proxym MR Tablet cause damage to the kidneys?
