Muscoril caps
thiocolchicoside
Muscoril is a muscle relaxant agent with anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions and is used for the treatment of muscular spasms and for rheumatologic, orthopedic, and traumatologic disorders.
Muscle relaxer thiocolchicoside is usually used along with rest, exercise, physical therapy, or other treatments. Although the drugs may provide relief, it should never be considered a substitute for these other forms of treatment. The Muscoril drug may make the injury feel so much better that one is tempted to go back to normal activity, but doing too much too soon can actually make the injury worse.
Muscle relaxant thiocolchicoside acts both in contractures of central origin and in those of reflex type, rheumatic and traumatic. Spastic sequelae of hemiparesis, Parkinson’s disease and latrogenic Parkinsonian symptoms, particularly the neurodyslectic syndrome. Acute and chronic lumbar and sciatic pain, cervico-brachial neuralgia, persistent torticollis, post-traumatic and post-operative pain. It acts in the central nervous system (CNS) to produce their muscle relaxant effects. Their actions in the CNS may also produce some of their side effects.
Thiocolchicoside (TCC) is used clinically for its muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, and it has been shown to interact with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptors (GABA(A)Rs) and strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors in the rat central nervous system. Muscoril is muscle relaxant. It displays anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and shows strong epileptogenic and convulsant activity.
Directions for use
Recommedned Muscoril dosage is eight milligrams the first day, then to increase up to twelve to sixteen milligrams per day. Do not exceed eight milligrams per dose. Muscoril capsule should be taken on a full stomach. Unless prescribed otherwise by the physician, it should be given 2 capsules for severe muscle cramps.

Thiocolchicoside Muscoril may not be very useful for cramps due to other more physiological reasons. When this is the case, one may feel lightheaded, dizzy or drowsy, and even suffer from blurred vision. That is why driving or doing jobs that require precision operations like machinery operating, should be avoided after taking a muscle relaxant drug.
