After combination of Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside we observed that Etoricoxib is selective inhibitor of COX-2 that decreases GI toxicity and is without effects on platelet function. Thiocolchicoside, is a muscle relaxant, which has been claimed to possess GABA (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) mimetic and glycinergic actions. It is used in the symptomatic treatment of painful muscle spasm.
It has been demonstrated by recent studies concomitant administration of an Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside shows significantly better symptoms relief compared with the modest improvement of inflammation with each of the treatment alone.
