MYORIL INJECTION

Uses and Benefits of MYORIL INJECTION (THIOCOCHICOSIDE)

Thiocolchicoside is mainly prescribed to relieve painful muscle spasms and stiffness that occur due to conditions like acute low back pain, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relief of acute muscle spasm and stiffness, especially in the back and neck
• As add-on therapy along with rest, physiotherapy, and painkillers for muscular pain
• Post-injury or post-strain muscle tightness

HOW IT WORKS

• It acts on the central nervous system to reduce excessive muscle contraction
• It helps relax tightened muscles, which reduces pain and improves movement
• It does not directly treat the underlying cause of the spasm, only the symptom

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not a painkiller for headaches, fever, or general body ache unrelated to muscle spasm
• It is not used for long-term or chronic muscle disorders
• It is not a treatment for nerve damage or fractures
• It should not be used as a substitute for physiotherapy or medical evaluation of the underlying cause
