About Thiossil Plus 325mg/4mg Tablet

PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is a combination medication used to reduce and relieve orthopaedic, traumatic,  and rheumatologic disorders. It helps relieve muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions) associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, vertebral static problems, dorsal pain, low back pain, and torticollis (neck muscle contractions). 

PARACETAMOL+THIOCOLCHICOSIDE is a combination of two drugs: Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic) and Thiocolchicoside (muscle relaxant). Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins responsible for pain, inflammation and fever. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieves pain due to muscle spasms.
