About Acaxia-MR 4 Tablet 10's

Acaxia-MR 4 Tablet 10's is a combination medication 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, and torticollis (neck muscle contractions).

Acaxia-MR 4 Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs: Thiocolchicoside (muscle relaxant) and Aceclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieving pain due to muscle spasms. Aceclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (pain killer) that works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body involved in the production of certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins, that cause pain and swelling.
