About Thioquest DP8 Capsule

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE belongs to the class of drugs called 'muscle relaxants'. DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post-surgery inflammation, and edema (swollen tissue with fluid). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused due to soft tissues (muscle, tendon, and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is a fixed-dose combination composed of three medicines namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and thiocolchicoside. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of diclofenac. The third medicine i.e. thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, that helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE can be taken with or after the meal. To avoid stomach upset DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE can be taken with food or milk. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Do not take DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE if your pain lasts for more than ten days or your fever lasts for more than three days. Do not take a double dose if you missed one dose. Like all medicines, DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. If these side effects persist stop taking DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE and consult your doctor immediately.

Do not take DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE if you are allergic to DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE. It is not recommended for use in children, people with liver disease, heart disease, or gastric ulcers/bleeding problems. DICLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE may be associated with a small increase in the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction). Avoid consumption of alcohol as it may damage your liver and cause even more side effects from taking this drug. Consult your doctor if your symptoms of pain, inflammation, and fever do not disappear even after ten days.
