LOSAFLAM TH 4 TAB

About

Losaflam TH 4 is a combination medication that brings together Lornoxicam, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Thiocolchicoside, a centrally acting muscle relaxant. Lornoxicam functions by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are crucial in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are key mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever, and by reducing their production, Lornoxicam delivers significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits, targeting the root causes of discomfort.

Thiocolchicoside complements this action by providing effective muscle relaxation. It primarily acts on GABAergic and glycinergic receptors within the central nervous system, helping to alleviate painful muscle spasms without inducing significant sedation. This dual mechanism of action makes the combination particularly effective for managing various musculoskeletal conditions characterized by both inflammatory pain and associated muscle rigidity, offering comprehensive relief and improving patient mobility and quality of life.
