Etodolac works by preventing the formation of chemical substances in the body which cause pain and swelling. Tolperisone relaxes the muscles and reduces the pain. The combination is thus effective in treating pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with muscle spasms and various musculoskeletal conditions.
