Myoril: Frequently Asked Questions Answered

What is Myoril?

Myoril is a muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle pain, treating muscle pain or spasms. The capsule contains thiocolchicoside which improves muscle stiffness and movement by working on the brain and the centre of the spinal cord. Eventually, this helps to soothe the muscular pain being experienced by the person as a result of muscle spasms. The doctor or nurse gives Myoril as an injection. Thus, it should not be self-administered.

What are the uses of Myoril?

Myoril is used to treat muscular pain in conditions like muscular tension or stiffness, lower back pain, vertebral static, and other vertebral disorders. It is also used to reduce swelling in conditions that affect the functioning of skeletal muscles. Myoril blocks the chemical messengers in a patient’s brain that cause these symptoms. Relieving muscular stiffness also improves muscular movement. Myoril can be used to treat diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, non-aticularrheutism, and ankylosing spondylitis.
