Key Highlights
Ziacox-T4 is a dual-action etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside tablet for pain + muscle spasm relief.
Etoricoxib reduces inflammation with lower gastric irritation.
Thiocolchicoside provides strong muscle relaxation, ideal for spasms and stiffness.
Suitable for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, muscle spasm disorders, and acute musculoskeletal pain.
Manufactured under WHO-GMP certified conditions by Biozia Lifesciences.
Product Overview
Ziacox-T4 combines the powerful anti-inflammatory effects of etoricoxib with the muscle-relaxant strength of thiocolchicoside. This etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside tablet is widely prescribed for painful muscle conditions where inflammation, stiffness and spasm occur together.
Etoricoxib selectively inhibits COX-2 enzymes, reducing swelling and pain while being gentler on the stomach compared to many traditional NSAIDs. Thiocolchicoside acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles, reduce stiffness and restore mobility.
Together, they offer faster, more complete relief for patients. For distributors and PCD partners, Ziacox-T4 is a high-demand orthopedic and pain-management product.
Indications for Etoricoxib and Thiocolchicoside Tablet
The etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside tablet is indicated for:
Acute low back pain, sciatica & lumbar spasms
Neck pain, shoulder stiffness, cervical spondylitis
Musculoskeletal pain with associated muscle spasm
Sports injuries and soft tissue trauma
Acute joint inflammation & painful muscle contractions
Spasm-related arthritis or postural pain
Etoricoxib handles the inflammation; thiocolchicoside relaxes the contracted muscles — ideal when pain is accompanied by stiffness.
Mechanism of Action
Etoricoxib
A selective COX-2 inhibitor that blocks prostaglandin synthesis responsible for inflammation and pain while sparing COX-1, thus reducing gastric irritation compared to older NSAIDs.

Thiocolchicoside
A semi-synthetic muscle relaxant derived from colchicoside. It acts as a GABA-A receptor agonist and glycine antagonist, leading to decreased muscle hyperexcitability and strong muscle relaxation.

Together, the etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside tablet addresses inflammation, pain, stiffness, and spasm simultaneously.

Did You Know?
Thiocolchicoside has strong muscle-relaxing properties but preserves voluntary muscle strength, making it suitable for active patients.
Etoricoxib is designed to reduce gastric irritation — a major limitation of older NSAIDs.
Combining etoricoxib and thiocolchicoside tablet reduces the need for multiple separate medicines.
