How it works
Aceclofenac works by reducing the formation of certain substances in the body that cause pain and swelling. Thiocolchicoside works by interacting with certain specific receptors in the central nervous system to prevent muscle contractions and relieve muscle spasms. The combination is thus effective in relieving pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with muscle spasms.
