About Thiochem Fast 4mg Injection

Thiochem Fast 4mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines called muscle relaxants indicated as an adjuvant in the treatment of painful muscular contractions associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, vertebral static problems, dorsal pain, low back pain, torticollis (neck muscle contractions), neurological and traumatological disorders.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain is a symptom caused by the nervous system that causes unpleasant sensations in the body. Muscle spasms are involuntary muscle contractions that can be painful and uncomfortable. Muscle spasms can occur when the nerve impulses that control muscle movement are damaged or interrupted. Muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints are all symptoms. Muscle spasms can be triggered by fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection, and tight clothing.
