Description
Dolo TH 4 – Strip of 10 Tablets
Composition: Each tablet contains:
- Thiocolchicoside 4 mg
- Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 500 mg
General Information: Dolo TH 4 is a combination medication containing thiocolchicoside and paracetamol, designed to provide muscle relaxant and pain-relieving effects. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant, while paracetamol is a widely used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer).
- Thiocolchicoside is used primarily to relieve muscle spasms and stiffness, often in conditions like back pain, neck pain, or other musculoskeletal issues.
- Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is effective for relieving pain and reducing fever, making it useful for treating various types of discomfort, including headaches, toothaches, and body aches.
Uses:
- Pain relief: For conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, back pain, neck pain, and muscle spasms.
- Muscle relaxation: Helps reduce muscle stiffness and spasms associated with conditions like sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries.
- Fever reduction: For reducing fever caused by infections like flu or cold.
Dosage:
- For adults: The typical dosage is 1 tablet of Dolo TH 4 every 12 hours or as prescribed by the doctor.
- The maximum daily dose should not exceed 2 tablets (1,000 mg paracetamol + 8 mg thiocolchicoside).
Important Notes:
- Take with or without food, but it may be taken with food if it causes stomach discomfort.
- Avoid alcohol while using this medication as it may increase the risk of liver damage due to paracetamol.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose to avoid potential side effects like liver damage from paracetamol or drowsiness from thiocolchicoside.
Precautions:
- Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have a history of liver disease, kidney disease, or gastrointestinal issues.
- Thiocolchicoside may cause drowsiness, so avoid activities like driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
- Avoid using other medications containing paracetamol to prevent accidental overdose.
- If you have any allergic reactions to thiocolchicoside or paracetamol, discontinue use and seek medical help immediately.
Side Effects: While Dolo TH 4 is generally well-tolerated, some possible side effects include:
- Drowsiness or dizziness due to thiocolchicoside.
- Stomach upset, nausea, or indigestion from paracetamol.
- Allergic reactions, such as skin rash, itching, or swelling.
- Liver damage (evident by yellowing of the skin or eyes) in case of paracetamol overdose.
If you experience severe side effects such as difficulty breathing, swelling, or persistent nausea, seek medical attention immediately.
