Torib-Mr 4/60mg Tablet 10's belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) indicated for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, acute pain, chronic low back pain and muscle spasms. 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.

Torib-Mr 4/60mg Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Etoricoxib (NSAID) and Thiocolchicoside (Muscle relaxant). Etoricoxib blocks the effect of chemical messengers, which cause pain and inflammation. 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.

Torib-Mr 4/60mg Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Etoricoxib (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) and Thiocolchicoside (Muscle relaxant). Torib-Mr 4/60mg Tablet 10's is used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, acute pain, chronic low back pain and muscle spasms. Etoricoxib blocks the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes 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. This helps in reducing 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 helping relieve pain due to muscle spasms.

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 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 of 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. 

Ankylosing spondylitis: It causes pain and stiffness in the spine. The pain generally starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints or other body parts. Ankylosing spondylitis includes decreased flexibility which usually leads to hunched-forward posture and pain in joints.

Gout: It is caused due to deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints, which leads to pain and inflammation in the joints. Symptoms include pain, swelling and redness in the joints, mostly the big toe.
