ETHICO - 8

10x10 ALU ALU PACK

ETHICO-8 is a prescription medication that contains Thiocolchicoside 8mg, which is a muscle relaxant used primarily to relieve muscular spasms and associated pain. It works by inhibiting the central nervous system to relax muscles and reduce spasticity, helping individuals manage pain and discomfort caused by muscle injuries or conditions like spasticity.

While ETHICO-8 is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

• Drowsiness or sedation.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Diarrhea or constipation.
• Lightheadedness or dizziness.
• Headache.
• Rare allergic reactions, including rash or itching.

In the case of severe or persistent side effects, it's important to consult your healthcare provider.

ETHICO-8 is commonly used to:

• Relieve pain and discomfort associated with acute muscular spasms.
• Treat conditions related to spasticity, such as muscle tightness, stiffness, and spasms caused by neurological disorders.
• Alleviate musculoskeletal pain due to injuries or conditions like strains, sprains, or post-operative recovery.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: ETHICO-8 should only be used during pregnancy or lactation when clearly needed. It is advised to consult a doctor before use.
• Elderly: Caution should be exercised when using this medication in elderly patients, especially those with a history of renal or hepatic impairment.
• Children: The safety and efficacy of ETHICO-8 in children have not been established. Consult your healthcare provider before use in pediatric patients.

• Hypersensitivity: Avoid using ETHICO-8 if you are allergic to thiocolchicoside or any other component of the tablet.
• Severe liver or kidney dysfunction: Use with caution or avoid in individuals with severe hepatic or renal impairment.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Do not use without medical advice as it may pose risks to the fetus or infant.

• Drowsiness: Thiocolchicoside can cause drowsiness or dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while using ETHICO-8, particularly until you know how it affects you.
• Alcohol Interaction: Alcohol can enhance the sedative effects of Thiocolchicoside, leading to increased drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication.
• Liver/Kidney Impairment: Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney disorders. The dosage may need to be adjusted in such cases.

• Adult Dosage: The recommended dosage for adults is typically 8mg (1 tablet) taken 2 to 3 times a day, depending on the severity of the condition and as advised by your doctor.
• Elderly Dosage: In elderly patients, the dosage should be carefully monitored and adjusted based on individual tolerance.
• Duration of Use: ETHICO-8 is generally used for a short duration to manage acute muscle spasms. Long-term use should be avoided unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Note: Always follow the prescribed dosage regimen. Do not take more than the recommended dose, and if a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless it is time for the next dose. Do not double the dose.

• CNS Depressants: Thiocolchicoside may interact with other central nervous system depressants, such as sedatives, tranquilizers, and alcohol, leading to enhanced sedative effects.
• Anticoagulants (Blood Thinners): Caution is advised if you are taking blood thinners, as thiocolchicoside may influence bleeding time.
• Antiepileptic Drugs: Interaction with antiepileptic medications may lead to changes in the effect of either drug.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
