🌿 What is Thiocolchicoside 8 mg (Myoril)?

Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside, a semi-synthetic derivative of colchicine, which acts as a muscle relaxant by antagonizing GABA and glycine receptors in the spinal cord. It reduces muscle hypertonicity and improves mobility in acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Thiocolchicoside also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its therapeutic efficacy in pain associated with muscle spasm.
