Powergesic is also a compound tablet containing chloroxazone 250 mg,
diclofenac 50 mg, and paracetamol 325 mg.
There is a Powergesic MR tablet containing 500, 50 and 500 mg
respectively.They are made by Jenburkt pharmaceuticals in India.

I'm sorry, paracetamol is the European (and Indian name) for
acetaminophen which is the chemical name for Tylenol.
Tylenol of course comes in 325 and 500 mg tabs. Chloroxazone, trade
name Parafon, is a skeletal muscle relaxer
and diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent trade named
Voltaren.
