Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain and muscle spasms

Medicinal Benefits:

Etozac-Mr Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Etodolac (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and Thiocolchicoside (Muscle relaxant). Etozac-Mr Tablet is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, and muscle spasms. Etodolac blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical, prostaglandins, which are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thiocolchicoside works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby helping relieve pain due to muscle spasms.
