Powergesic MR tablets contain NSAID and Muscle relaxant. This medicines are usually safe until you are suffering from a heart or a renal (kidney) disease. I would suggest you to do hot fomentation and exercises as they are the mainstay of treatment. Use the above tablets only on SOS (as and when needed) basis.
