Working Mechanism of Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside Tablets

The working mechanism of Etodolac 400mg and Thiocolchicoside 4mg tablet has been mentioned as follows:

Etodolac

Etodolac inhibits the cyclooxygenase, also known as COX enzymes, which reduces the prostaglandin synthesis, which is responsible for pain and inflammation. Hence, the pain is managed due to muscle spasms.  

Thiocolchicoside

Thiocolchicoside works by acting on GABA and glycine receptors, which helps relax tensed skeletal muscles and relieve spasms. Resulting in pain management.

Therefore, by combining an anti-inflammatory agent with a muscle relaxant, the tablet offers faster and sustained relief.
