Tolperisone + Etoricoxib

Introduction

Tolperisone + Etoricoxib is a combination medication used to relieve muscle pain, spasms, and inflammation. Tolperisone is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that helps in reducing muscle stiffness and improving mobility. Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that reduces pain and inflammation without affecting the stomach lining as much as traditional NSAIDs. This combination is ideal for conditions involving muscle spasms, such as low back pain, cervical spondylitis, and post-surgical muscle tension. It helps patients resume daily activities more comfortably and effectively.
