About Etogesic MR Tablet

Etogesic MR Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called analgesics used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, and muscle spasms. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering (cartilage). Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage.
 
Etogesic MR Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Etodolac (NSAID) and Thiocolchicoside (Muscle relaxant). Etodolac blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes other chemical prostaglandins. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced. 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 helps relieve pain due to muscle spasms.
 
You are advised to take Etogesic MR Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Etogesic MR Tablet may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach pain, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Etogesic MR Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Etogesic MR Tablet is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Etogesic MR Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Medicinal Benefits

Etogesic MR Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Etodolac (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and Thiocolchicoside (Muscle relaxant). Etogesic MR Tablet is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, pain, and muscle spasms.

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.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body). The common causes of pain include headache, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, and arthritis.

Osteoarthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue), leading to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformities and loss of joint function. 

Muscle spasms: The sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty in moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection and tight clothing can trigger muscle spasms.
