1. Etoricoxib IP — 60 mg

• Class: Selective COX-2 inhibitor / NSAID.

• Reduces production of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation.

• Used in painful musculoskeletal conditions, including pain associated with muscle spasm. (Torrentian)

2. Thiocolchicoside IP — 4 mg

Excipients

The photograph does not clearly show the complete excipient list for Itora-TH, so the manufacturer's exact excipients should not be assumed. Other 60 mg/4 mg formulations may contain lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, talc, magnesium stearate, etc., but these are not confirmed as the exact Itora-TH excipients.

Main use

Etoricoxib 60 mg + Thiocolchicoside 4 mg is used for acute painful musculoskeletal conditions associated with muscle spasm, such as painful back/neck muscle spasm and certain orthopedic/rheumatologic conditions. (Torrentian)

Important cautions

• Etoricoxib can increase blood pressure, fluid retention and cardiovascular risk, particularly with higher doses or prolonged use.

• It can also affect the stomach and kidneys.

• Avoid combining it with another NSAID such as diclofenac, naproxen, ibuprofen, ketorolac or nimesulide unless specifically prescribed.

• Thiocolchicoside can cause drowsiness/dizziness and has important restrictions in pregnancy and certain seizure-related conditions.

In short: ITORA-TH = Etoricoxib 60 mg + Thiocolchicoside 4 mg per tablet. (Torrentian)
