Odec MR 400mg/4mg Tablet Substitute

Odec MR 400mg/4mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Etodolac and Thiocolchicoside. Etodolac blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical, 'prostaglandins'. This helps reduce mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thiocolchicoside works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby helping relieve pain due to muscle spasms.
