Introduction
Etorivix TH 60mg/4mg Tablet is a combination of Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside, used to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by muscle spasms. Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers responsible for pain and inflammation. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that acts on the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasms, thereby improving muscle movement. 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, liver, or kidney disease. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during the initial weeks of treatment.
Directions for Use
