Introduction
Arconyx MR Tablet is a combination medication used to alleviate pain caused by muscle spasms. It enhances muscle movement and provides relief from associated pain and discomfort. The tablet contains Etoricoxib, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers causing pain and inflammation, and Thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant that acts on the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasms. While effective, it may cause dizziness and fatigue, and should be used with caution, especially in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, heart diseases, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during the initial weeks of treatment.
