Thioren Tablet Substitute

Thioren Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Ketoprofen and Thiocolchicoside. Ketoprofen blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical 'prostaglandin' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of chemicals ketoprofen helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centers of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby helping relieve pain due to muscle spasms. This Thioren Tablet is thus better efficient in relieving inflammation and pain.

Thioren Tablet is used to reduce and relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Arthritis is the tenderness and swelling in the joints.

Diarrhea might be a side-effect of Thioren Tablet . Drink enough fluids and eat fiber-rich food if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience excess diarrhea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Thioren Tablet might cause swelling of feet and hands due to fluid retention (edema). While lying down, raise your legs above by putting a pillow below them. Follow a low-salt diet as it might help in reducing fluid build-up.
