Product Introduction
Thiocolchicoside 4mg is a muscle relaxant used alongside other treatment for painful muscle contractures associated with acute spinal conditions. It is intended for a short episode of muscle spasm rather than continuing treatment of chronic stiffness.
How to use
Swallow the capsule with water, preferably after food if it upsets the stomach. Oral treatment is limited to a maximum of 7 consecutive days; do not extend it for recurring stiffness.
How it works
Thiocolchicoside acts on inhibitory signalling involved in muscle tone within the nervous system. This reduces involuntary muscle contraction without acting as an anti-inflammatory painkiller.
Side effects
Diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort and sleepiness may occur. A seizure, marked weakness or an allergic reaction requires urgent medical attention.
Important information
It is unsuitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding and for children younger than 16 years. Effective contraception is important because of potential reproductive harm. A seizure history increases concern about convulsions.
Uses
- Short-term adjunctive relief of painful muscle contractures in acute spinal conditions.
Benefits
Reducing excessive muscle contraction can make movement more comfortable while the underlying acute back or neck problem is treated.
Is thiocolchicoside an NSAID?
No. It relaxes muscle spasm; it does not replace the anti-inflammatory action of an NSAID when inflammation also needs treatment.
Can I keep taking it for long-standing back pain?
It is intended for an acute episode. Persistent or recurrent pain needs its cause reassessed rather than repeated or prolonged courses.
Does it repair a slipped disc?
No. It may relieve associated contracture but does not reverse disc damage, nerve compression or a structural spinal problem.
Can alcohol make its effects worse?
Alcohol can add to drowsiness and impaired coordination. Avoid alcohol during the short treatment course.
What if diarrhoea develops during treatment?
Diarrhoea is a recognised adverse effect. Persistent or troublesome diarrhoea can require stopping or changing treatment, especially if dehydration develops.
