About Etoricoxib+tolperisone

Etoricoxib+tolperisone is used to alleviate pain caused by muscle spasms. By addressing muscle spasms, Etoricoxib+tolperisone helps to relieve discomfort and promote relaxation, particularly in cases where nerve impulses controlling muscle movements are damaged or interrupted.
