DOLOWIN MR TAB

About

Dolowin MR Tab is a combination medication containing Aceclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Thiocolchicoside acts as a centrally acting muscle relaxant, primarily through its agonist action on GABA-A receptors and glycine receptors, which helps to relieve muscle spasms and associated pain.

This combination is particularly effective in treating painful musculoskeletal conditions associated with muscle spasms. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as acute low back pain, cervical pain, torticollis, periarthritis, and other painful contractures. The dual action of reducing inflammation and relaxing muscles provides comprehensive relief, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
