Thiosid 4mg Capsule

Thiosid 4mg Capsule contains Thiocolchicoside 4mg, a muscle relaxant. Made by Shrooq, it is prescribed for painful muscle spasm and back pain. Pack size: 20 capsules.

Uses of Thiosid 4mg Capsule

Thiosid 4mg Capsule is used for short-term relief of painful muscle spasm, such as in acute low back pain, a stiff or painful neck, and spasm linked to spinal conditions. It is given to adults and older teenagers alongside other measures like painkillers, heat and gentle movement. It is intended only for a brief course and is not suitable for long-term muscle problems.

How Thiosid 4mg Capsule works

Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant derived from a natural plant compound. It acts on GABA and glycine receptors in the nervous system, reducing the excessive nerve signals that keep muscles contracted. As the spasm relaxes, pain and stiffness ease.
