Paracetamol/Acetaminophen + Thiocolchicoside is a combination pain reliever and muscle relaxant.
Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, is an analgesic and antipyretic. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the brain that signal pain and cause fever. By limiting their production, paracetamol reduces pain and fever.
Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant. It acts on the spinal cord and brain to relax muscles. It helps relieve muscle stiffness and spasms, making it easier for you to move.
