About Toraflam-T 8mg/8mg Tablet

Toraflam-T 8mg/8mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) used to relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis; acute pain, chronic low back pain and muscle spasms. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasms are the sudden involuntary contractions of a muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable.

Toraflam-T 8mg/8mg Tablet combines two medications: lornoxicam, a pain reducer, and thiocolchicoside, a muscle relaxant. Lornoxicam works by inhibiting chemical messengers, such as prostaglandins, which are responsible for producing pain and inflammation. Thiocolchicoside acts on the central regions of the brain and spinal cord. This reduces muscle stiffness and enhances muscle mobility, which in turn reduces pain from muscle spasms.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Toraflam-T 8mg/8mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you.
