Tizanac AC 100mg/2mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Tizanidine and Aceclofenac. Tizanac AC 100mg/2mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, tooth pain, bone and joint pain, and headache. Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant that works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac is an analgesic that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins which are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Tizanac AC 100mg/2mg Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
