Lornoxicam + Thiocolchicoside

Uses of Lornoxicam + Thiocolchicoside

  • Lornoxicam + Thiocolchicoside is primarily used to manage painful muscle spasms and musculoskeletal conditions, such as acute spinal pathology. As a combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a muscle relaxant, it is effective in relieving pain and inflammation.
  • It is commonly used for conditions like low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, arthritis, sprains, strains, tendinitis, whiplash injuries, and post-operative pain. 
  • This combination is particularly beneficial in conditions where muscle spasms are a key symptom.

Side effects of Lornoxicam + Thiocolchicoside

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Abdominal pain

  • Diarrhoea

  • Headache

How Lornoxicam + Thiocolchicoside works

  • Lornoxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It decreases pain and inflammation by reducing the production of certain chemicals called prostaglandins. It does so by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are involved in the production of these pain-causing chemicals.

  • Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant. It works at the spinal cord level to reduce muscle stiffness or spasms without reduction in strength. This improves the pain and movement of muscles.
