DOLO TH4 TAB

About

Dolo TH4 Tab combines Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), an effective analgesic and antipyretic, with Thiocolchicoside, a potent muscle relaxant. Paracetamol primarily acts in the central nervous system to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thereby elevating the pain threshold and reducing fever. Thiocolchicoside works as a centrally acting muscle relaxant, primarily through its selective agonist action on GABA-A receptors and glycine receptors, which helps to alleviate muscle spasms and associated pain.

This combination is particularly useful for treating painful musculoskeletal conditions accompanied by muscle spasms. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as acute low back pain, cervical pain, torticollis, and other painful contractures. The dual action of pain relief and muscle relaxation provides comprehensive symptomatic relief, improving patient comfort and mobility.
