ACECLOGESIC TH8 TABLET
Product Description
ACECLOGESIC TH8 TABLET tablet is a prescription pain-relief and muscle relaxant medicine containing Aceclofenac and Thiocolchicoside. It is commonly used to treat painful muscle spasms, stiffness, and inflammation associated with conditions such as back pain, neck pain, cervical or lumbar spondylosis, and musculoskeletal injuries. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and swelling, while Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that helps relieve muscle stiffness and spasm. Together, they improve mobility and reduce discomfort caused by muscle strain or injury. ACECLOGESIC TH8 TABLET tablet is typically available in strengths such as Aceclofenac 100 mg with Thiocolchicoside 4 mg or 8 mg.
Pharmacist Note
Take ACECLOGESIC TH8 TABLET after meals to reduce stomach irritation. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not crush it unless advised. This medicine is commonly prescribed for short-term relief of muscle stiffness and spasm, especially in back or neck pain. Avoid taking it longer than prescribed because prolonged use of NSAIDs like Aceclofenac may increase the risk of stomach ulcers or kidney problems. Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, stomach ulcers, epilepsy, or if you are pregnant.
