Medicine information
Uses & overview
Flupirtine & Thiocolchicoside is a combination medicine prescribed by doctors for short-term relief of painful muscle conditions. You can buy Flupirtine & Thiocolchicoside online from a licensed pharmacy with a valid prescription and get it delivered to your doorstep anywhere in India. This combination works in two ways. Flupirtine is a non-opioid, centrally acting analgesic that calms overactive nerve cells and reduces the pain signals sent to the brain. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that eases muscle tightness, stiffness, and spasm, helping you move more freely. Together, they target both the pain and the muscle tension behind it. It is commonly prescribed for lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica-related spasm, sprains, muscle strain, post-injury pain, and painful muscle contractions. It is meant for short-term use only, for the period your doctor advises.
How to use
This medicine should be used carefully and only under medical supervision, as flupirtine can affect the liver and thiocolchicoside has duration limits.

A commonly prescribed dose is one tablet twice a day, but your doctor will decide the right amount based on your condition. Never increase the dose on your own. Best time to take: Take it after food or with a meal to reduce stomach upset. Space the doses evenly, about 12 hours apart if taken twice daily.

Liver monitoring: Get liver function tests done before starting and at regular intervals during treatment, as your doctor recommends.
