Muscoril Injection

Muscoril Injection is an injection made by Sanofi Aventis Pakistan Limited that contains Thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant. It is used for painful muscle spasm and back pain. Pack size: 6 pcs.

Uses of Muscoril Injection

Muscoril Injection 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 Muscoril Injection 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.

Possible side effects

Stomach upset is the most common side effect of Muscoril Injection. Others include:

• Diarrhoea
• Stomach pain
• Nausea
• Drowsiness

Stop taking it and seek urgent help if you have a fit, faint, or develop swelling of the face or throat or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it only for the short period your doctor prescribes and never take more than directed, as high exposure has been linked to damage in dividing cells.

• Tell your doctor if you have epilepsy or a history of fits.
