Introduction
ETOVISH TH TABLET is a combination of two medicines: Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside, used to relieve pain and relax muscles. Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers causing pain and inflammation. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm, improving pain and movement of muscles. It may cause dizziness and fatigue, and it is important to avoid alcohol while taking this medication. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised, especially in the first two weeks of treatment. Consult your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart diseases, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, or if you notice yellowing of eyes or skin, dark urine, or stomach pain.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stop taking ETOVISH TH TABLET when my pain is relieved?
It's generally recommended to continue taking ETOVISH TH TABLET for as long as advised by your physician if you're using it for long-term pain relief. If you're only using it for short-term pain relief, you can discontinue use once the pain has subsided.
Can the use of ETOVISH TH TABLET cause dizziness?
Yes, some patients may experience dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) while taking ETOVISH TH TABLET. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded, it's best to rest for a short time and resume once you're feeling better.
Are there any specific contraindications associated with the use of ETOVISH TH TABLET?
The use of ETOVISH TH TABLET is not recommended for patients with known allergies to painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of its components or excipients. It's also best avoided in patients with a history of stomach ulcers, active or recurrent bleeding, heart failure, high blood pressure, and liver or kidney disease.
Can I take ETOVISH TH TABLET with Vitamin B-complex?
