What is Muscoril?

Thiocolchicoside (TCC) is used clinically for its muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. Muscoril muscle relaxant works by acting on the central nervous system but it does not heal a muscle, because muscles are self-healing, but mask the pain to allow the body time to heal ifself. Thiocolchicoside also works on the brain. This medication works to reduce your brain’s ability to sense pain, allowing you to relax. It also blocks the pain sensations that your body’s nerves send to your brain.

Muscoril side effects
