About Qcefenac MR Tablet

ACECLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, bone and joint pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. Arthritis is the tenderness and swelling in the joints.

ACECLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Thiocolchicoside (muscle relaxant), Aceclofenac (NSAID), and Paracetamol (Analgesic). Thiocolchicoside works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandin (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, ACECLOFENAC+PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
