Edoclof-Max Tablet

Edoclof-Max Tablet is a combination medicine used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, and bone and joint 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. Arthritis is tenderness and swelling in the joints.

Edoclof-Max Tablet contains Thiocolchicoside (muscle relaxant), Aceclofenac (NSAID), and Paracetamol (Analgesic). Thiocolchicoside works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work by blocking the effect of chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation.  Together, Edoclof-Max Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.

You are advised to take Edoclof-Max Tablet as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, heartburn, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Edoclof-Max Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Edoclof-Max Tablet should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Edoclof-Max Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Edoclof-Max Tablet is used in the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders. The detailed uses of Edoclof-Max Tablet are as follows:

• Relieve muscular pain and spasms: Edoclof-Max Tablet is a combination of a muscle relaxant (Thiocolchicoside) and two pain relievers (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol). Thiocolchicoside acts on the brain and spinal cord to reduce muscle stiffness and spasms, improving mobility and comfort.
• Reduce inflammation and pain: Aceclofenac and Paracetamol work together to block chemical messengers responsible for pain and inflammation. This makes Edoclof-Max Tablet effective in treating conditions like back pain, neck pain, sprains, and joint disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Manage fever and post-traumatic discomfort: Paracetamol in Edoclof-Max Tablet also helps lower fever and relieve general body aches, making it useful after injuries or surgeries involving musculoskeletal strain.

• It is advised to take Edoclof-Max Tablet with food to avoid any stomach upset or as advised by a doctor.
• Adhere to your doctor’s guidance regarding the dosage and timing of this medication for optimal effectiveness.
• Swallow Edoclof-Max Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

Edoclof-Max Tablet is a combination of three drugs, namely: Thiocolchicoside, Aceclofenac, and Paracetamol. Edoclof-Max Tablet is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, bone and joint pain. Edoclof-Max Tablet increases the pain threshold and blood flow across the skin. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant which works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain. This helps relieve muscle stiffness and improves muscle movements. Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are analgesics that block the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical, prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Edoclof-Max Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.

Do not take Edoclof-Max Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents; if you have/had severe heart problems, stomach ulcer or perforation, and bleeding problems such as bleeding from the stomach, intestine or brain, bypass surgery, heart attack, blood circulation problems, or inflammation of intestines. Inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, liver or kidney problems. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Edoclof-Max Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Edoclof-Max Tablet is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Edoclof-Max Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and increased risk of stomach bleeding. Stop taking Edoclof-Max Tablet and consult your doctor immediately if you have stomach pain or any signs of bleeding in the intestine or stomach, such as blood in stools. Do not take any other NSAIDs for pain relief along with Edoclof-Max Tablet unless prescribed.
