TOLKEM D TAB

Tolkem D Tablet belongs to a class of medications called Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain killer. Tolkem D Tablet is used to reduce and relieve pain due to the muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles). Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

Tolkem D Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Tolperisone. Diclofenac is a pain killer (NSAIDs) while Tolperisone is a skeletal muscle relaxant. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical ‘prostaglandins’ (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzyme’s effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. On the other hand, Tolperisone works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and relieve pain and improve muscle’s movement.
