NUMICOX-MR

Numicox-MR (Thiocolchicoside & Etoricoxib Tablets) combines the benefits of a muscle relaxant (Thiocolchicoside) and a pain-relieving anti-inflammatory agent (Etoricoxib) to provide effective relief from muscle pain, stiffness, and swelling. Thiocolchicoside works by acting on the central nervous system to relax muscles and relieve spasms without causing significant drowsiness. Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, reduces the production of prostaglandins chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. Together, they help ease muscular pain, improve flexibility, and promote faster recovery from muscle strain, joint pain, or injuries.

Numicox-MR is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain associated with conditions such as back pain, neck pain, joint stiffness, sprains, strains, and sports injuries. It is also prescribed for painful muscle spasms that occur due to arthritis, cervical spondylosis, or post-traumatic inflammation. By targeting both muscle tension and pain, Numicox-MR helps restore movement, reduce discomfort, and improve daily function.

The dosage of Numicox-MR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily, preferably after meals, to minimize stomach irritation. The dose may vary depending on the severity of pain and the patient’s health condition. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment without medical advice.

Storage: Store Numicox-MR in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Common Side Effects: Some patients may experience mild stomach discomfort, dizziness, headache, heartburn, or muscle weakness. These effects are usually temporary, but if they persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.

Do not take Numicox-MR if you are allergic to Thiocolchicoside, Etoricoxib, or any other NSAIDs. Patients with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, stomach ulcers, or seizures should use this medicine cautiously. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or drowsy after taking the tablet. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take Numicox-MR only under medical supervision.

Drug–Drug Interactions: Numicox-MR may interact with blood thinners (like warfarin), antihypertensives, diuretics, corticosteroids, and other pain-relieving medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen. It may also interact with certain antifungal and antibiotic drugs, increasing the risk of side effects. Always inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are using before starting Numicox-MR.

Drug–Food Interactions: Take Numicox-MR after meals to help reduce stomach irritation and improve absorption. Avoid consuming alcohol during the course of treatment, as it may increase the risk of stomach bleeding and dizziness. Maintain a balanced diet and drink plenty of water for overall well-being.

Drug–Disease Interactions: Patients with liver disease, kidney impairment, gastrointestinal bleeding, or cardiovascular disorders should use Numicox-MR under strict medical monitoring. Those with seizure disorders or muscle weakness should also consult their doctor before use. Regular check-ups may be required to ensure safe and effective treatment.
