Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet is a prescription combination medicine containing Etoricoxib 60mg and Thiocolchicoside 4mg. It may be prescribed for certain musculoskeletal conditions associated with pain, inflammation, muscle stiffness and muscle spasms. Etoricoxib belongs to the selective COX-2 inhibitor group and helps reduce pain and inflammation, while Thiocolchicoside acts as a muscle relaxant and helps reduce excessive muscle contractions.
The combination of these two active ingredients provides complementary action when pain and muscle spasm occur together. By helping control inflammatory discomfort and muscle stiffness, Brutaflam MR 4 may support more comfortable movement during the prescribed treatment period. The medicine should be taken only according to the directions provided by a qualified healthcare professional.
The appropriate dose and duration of treatment can vary depending on the patient's condition, severity of symptoms, age, medical history and response to treatment. Patients should not increase the dose, take additional tablets or continue treatment for longer than prescribed without consulting their doctor.

Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet Uses
Brutaflam MR 4 may be prescribed for certain musculoskeletal conditions where pain, inflammation, muscle stiffness and muscle spasms are present. The exact condition for which the medicine is prescribed should be determined by a healthcare professional after considering the patient's symptoms and medical history.
Muscle Spasm-Related Pain
Muscle spasms can cause discomfort, stiffness and difficulty with normal movement. The Thiocolchicoside component helps relax contracted muscles, while Etoricoxib helps manage associated inflammatory pain.
Musculoskeletal Pain
The medicine may be prescribed when musculoskeletal pain is accompanied by inflammation or muscle spasm. Treatment should always follow the dosage and duration recommended by a doctor.
Muscle Stiffness
Muscle stiffness may occur along with painful muscle contractions. The muscle-relaxing action of Thiocolchicoside may help reduce excessive contraction and improve comfort during the prescribed treatment period.
Inflammatory Pain
Etoricoxib helps reduce the production of substances involved in inflammation and pain. This may help relieve inflammatory discomfort in suitable musculoskeletal conditions.
Benefits of Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet
Brutaflam MR 4 provides two complementary actions through its active ingredients. Its potential benefits in appropriate patients include:
- Helps relieve pain: Etoricoxib provides pain-relieving action and may help reduce musculoskeletal discomfort.
- Helps reduce inflammation: Its selective COX-2 inhibitory action helps control inflammation-related discomfort.
- Helps relax muscles: Thiocolchicoside helps reduce excessive muscle contractions and associated stiffness.
- May support comfortable movement: Managing pain and muscle spasm together may make everyday movement more comfortable.
- Dual-action combination: The two active ingredients work through different mechanisms to address pain, inflammation and muscle spasm.
Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet Composition
Each Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet contains two active ingredients:
- Etoricoxib 60mg – a selective COX-2 inhibitor used to help reduce pain and inflammation.
- Thiocolchicoside 4mg – a muscle relaxant used to help reduce muscle stiffness and spasms.
How Brutaflam MR 4 Tablet Works
Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme involved in the production of inflammatory substances. By reducing these substances, it helps control pain and inflammation associated with suitable conditions.
Thiocolchicoside works as a muscle relaxant and helps reduce excessive muscle contraction. This action may help decrease stiffness and discomfort associated with painful muscle spasms.
Because the two ingredients have complementary actions, the combination may be prescribed when pain and muscle spasm occur together.
