Introduction

Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac, and Paracetamol Capsules combine three potent ingredients, each contributing to pain relief, inflammation reduction, and muscle relaxation. Commonly used for conditions like musculoskeletal pain and muscle spasms, this combination therapy provides both symptomatic relief and enhanced mobility.

What is Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac & Paracetamol Capsules?

Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that acts on the central nervous system to relieve muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the production of chemicals (prostaglandins) responsible for inflammation and pain. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic, providing additional pain relief and reducing fever.

How Does Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac & Paracetamol Capsules Work?

  1. Thiocolchicoside binds to GABA receptors, reducing muscle spasms.
  2. Aceclofenac inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis, which in turn lowers inflammation and pain.
  3. Paracetamol works on the central nervous system, blocking pain signals and reducing body temperature during fever.
