Description
Etody-TH 60mg/4mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms associated with musculoskeletal conditions. It contains two active ingredients — Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside — that work together to reduce pain and relax muscles.
-
Etoricoxib (60mg): A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that selectively inhibits COX-2 enzymes, helping reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling without irritating the stomach lining as much as traditional NSAIDs.
-
Thiocolchicoside (4mg): A muscle relaxant that acts on the central nervous system to relieve muscle stiffness and spasms, improving mobility and comfort.
This combination is commonly prescribed for conditions like back pain, neck pain, joint pain, muscle strain, spondylitis, and arthritis. It provides fast and effective relief, enabling better movement and flexibility.

-
Treatment of muscle pain and stiffness
-
Relief from joint pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain
