ACE PROXYVON TH 8
Product Description
ACE PROXYVON TH 8 tablet is a prescription medicine used to relieve pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms associated with musculoskeletal conditions. It contains Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and pain; Paracetamol, an analgesic and antipyretic that relieves pain and fever; and Thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant that helps reduce muscle stiffness and spasms. This combination is commonly prescribed for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, muscle strain, cervical or lumbar spondylosis, and sports injuries. ACE PROXYVON TH 8 tablet is widely available in India in strengths such as Aceclofenac 100 mg, Paracetamol 325 mg, and Thiocolchicoside 4 mg.
Pharmacist Note
Take ACE PROXYVON TH 8 after meals to reduce stomach irritation caused by Aceclofenac. Swallow the tablet whole with water and avoid crushing it unless instructed by your doctor. Thiocolchicoside may cause dizziness or sleepiness in some individuals, so avoid driving or alcohol if affected. Do not take additional Paracetamol-containing medicines while using ACE PROXYVON TH 8 because this can increase the risk of liver damage. Use the medicine only for the duration prescribed by your doctor.
