Muscoril

Muscoril contains thiocolchicoside, a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to help relieve painful muscle spasms and contractures associated with certain acute musculoskeletal conditions.

Thiocolchicoside is generally used as an adjunct to other treatments, such as rest or physical therapy, rather than as a standalone treatment for the underlying cause of musculoskeletal pain.
