INTACOXIA MR TABLET 10'S

How INTACOXIA MR TABLET 10'S Works

• INTACOXIA MR TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate pain and inflammation while also providing muscle relaxant properties. It contains Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside as its active ingredients, each contributing uniquely to the overall therapeutic effect.
• Etoricoxib belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), specifically a COX-2 selective inhibitor. Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, are responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that contribute to inflammation, pain, and fever. Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme, which is primarily involved in inflammation. By blocking COX-2, Etoricoxib reduces the production of prostaglandins at the site of inflammation, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation.
• Unlike traditional NSAIDs that inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, Etoricoxib's selectivity towards COX-2 helps minimize the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as ulcers and bleeding. COX-1 plays a role in protecting the stomach lining, and its inhibition can lead to these adverse effects.
• Thiocolchicoside, on the other hand, is a muscle relaxant. It works by acting on the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors and glycine receptors in the central nervous system. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps to reduce neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. By enhancing GABAergic neurotransmission, Thiocolchicoside helps to reduce muscle spasms and stiffness.
• Additionally, Thiocolchicoside is also believed to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It may inhibit the release of certain inflammatory mediators, further contributing to pain relief.
• The combination of Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside in INTACOXIA MR TABLET 10'S provides a synergistic effect. Etoricoxib addresses the inflammatory component of pain, while Thiocolchicoside relaxes muscles and reduces spasms. This combination offers comprehensive relief from pain, inflammation, and muscle stiffness, making it effective for conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Always consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate use and dosage.
