About Thioquest DP 4 Capsule

Thioquest DP 4 Capsule belongs to the class of drugs called 'muscle relaxants'. Thioquest DP 4 Capsule is used in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain due to tissue injury, resolution of post-surgery inflammation, and oedema (swollen tissue with fluid). Pain can be temporary (acute) or long-term (chronic) in nature. Musculoskeletal pain can be caused due to soft tissues (muscle, tendon, and ligaments) injury. Extreme tissue pain and inflammation caused due to sprains, strains or trauma or post-surgery may require a prolonged amount of time to heal.

Thioquest DP 4 Capsule is a fixed-dose combination composed of three medicines namely: Diclofenac, Paracetamol, and thiocolchicoside. Diclofenac works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) which causes pain and swelling at the injured or damaged tissue site. Paracetamol acts as a mild analgesic (mild pain reducer) and antipyretic (fever reducer) which enhances the pain relief action of diclofenac. The third medicine i.e. thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, helps by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations sent by the brain and causes relaxation of muscles.

Thioquest DP 4 Capsule can be taken with or after the meal. To avoid stomach upset Thioquest DP 4 Capsule can be taken with food or milk. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. Do not take Thioquest DP 4 Capsule if your pain lasts for more than ten days or fever lasting for more than three days.
