Thioford Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that act on your body in specific ways:

• Aceclofenac (100 mg): This component acts by blocking an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX) in your body. By doing so, it inhibits the production of certain chemicals called prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. With a higher selectivity for COX-2 over COX-1, aceclofenac effectively reduces pain and inflammation.

• Thiocolchicoside (4 mg): As a muscle relaxant, thiocolchicoside works centrally at the spinal cord level. It exhibits actions similar to a neurotransmitter called GABA and another substance known as glycine, which helps reduce muscle spasms and painful muscle contractions. Along with its muscle-relaxing properties, thiocolchicoside also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects that complement the actions of aceclofenac.

• If you're dealing with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, consider a diet rich in Vitamin D and calcium to strengthen your bones. Foods like milk, cheese, and fish can be beneficial.

• Regular low-impact exercises such as swimming or cycling can help maintain joint flexibility and reduce stiffness associated with conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, which Thioford Tablet 10 helps manage. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
