Off-label Uses

The combination of Thiocolchicoside and Etoricoxib works by relaxing muscles and reducing pain and inflammation. Thiocolchicoside acts as a muscle relaxant, while Etoricoxib is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain.

Thiocolchicoside binds to the GABA receptors in the central nervous system, leading to muscle relaxation. Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain.
