About Nimulid-ATH 8 Tablet
Nimulid-ATH 8 Tablet is used to reduce and relieve pain due to muscle spasms (painful muscular contractions) associated with degenerative vertebral disorders, vertebral static problems, dorsal pain, low back pain, and torticollis (neck muscle contractions).
Nimulid-ATH 8 Tablet is a combination of Thiocolchicoside and Aceclofenac. Thiocolchicoside works on the centres of the spinal cord and brain.
