About RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE

RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants used to reduce and relieve pain due to muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions) associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, vertebral static problems, dorsal pain, low back pain, torticollis (neck muscle contractions), neurological and traumatological problems.

RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE contains ''Thiocochicoside,'' which works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieves pain due to muscle spasms.

You are advised to take RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as drowsiness, stomach upset, indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. 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.

Do not take RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE may cause drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE is not recommended for children below 16 years as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with RELMUS 8MG CAPSULE as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.

  • Massages can also be helpful.
  • Avoid freezing and hot temperatures.
  • Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes; instead, wear loose garments.
  • Rest well, and get plenty of sleep.
  • To avoid developing pressure sores, change your position at least every two hours.

  • Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which 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, pain in affected muscles and joints. Fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection and tight clothing can trigger muscle spasms.
