What is the Working Mechanism of Etoricoxib, Thiocolchicoside Tablets?
Etoricoxib belongs to the Cox-2 selective Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) class.

Thiocolchicoside acts as a muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It releases muscle tension and helps to reduce muscle spasms and stiffness by interacting with the spinal cord and cerebral centers. Thiocolchicoside acts as a GABA-A receptor antagonist and glycine receptor antagonist at the spinal cord level.
Together, these provide dual action for effective relief from pain and muscle stiffness. Also, useful in conditions such as arthritis, spondylitis, low back pain, sports injuries, and post-operative musculoskeletal pain.
