Systaflam-MR Capsule (Thiocolchicoside 4mg / Diclofenac 75mg)

Systaflam-MR TABLET is a combination medication primarily used to reduce and relieve pain due to muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions) associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, torticollis (neck muscle contractions), upper and lower back pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.

SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET is a combination of two drugs: Diclofenac and Thiocolchicoside. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (pain killer/NSAID) and relieves pain. It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes and further prevents the formation of chemical messengers, ‘prostaglandins’ (PGs), that cause pain and swelling at the injured or damaged site. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieves pain due to muscle spasms.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach pain, diarrhoea, and heartburn. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. However, if the side effects are persistent, please reach out to your doctor.

Before starting SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET, inform your doctor if you have any liver, heart or kidney diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, stomach ulcers, asthma, muscular hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), flaccid paresis (loose and floppy limbs), autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus), and smoking habit. SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women. SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET should not be given to children and adolescents below 16 years of age as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol while undergoing treatment with SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET.

Pain due to muscle spasms 

SYSTAFLAM MR TABLET treats pain due to muscle spasms. It contains Diclofenac and Thiocolchicoside. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) and relieves pain. It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevents the formation of chemical messengers called ‘prostaglandins (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes’ effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements, thereby relieves pain due to muscle spasms.
