Uses & Benefits
Relief of painful muscle spasms associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, sprains/strains, and other painful contractures
How It Works
Thiocolchicoside is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It reduces muscle spasm by acting on inhibitory neurotransmission (GABA/glycine-related pathways) in the spinal cord/central nervous system, leading to muscle relaxation and pain relief.
