Description: THIORUB LINIMENT is a medicine applied topically to relieve pain. It works by first cooling the skin then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts the patient from pain. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and swelling. THIORUB LINIMENT is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be rubbed into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid applying it on wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse it with cold water. Use of this medicine may cause few common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application in some people. Usually, the side effects will slowly go away as your body gets used to it. If they are severe or do not go away, you should let your doctor know. Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine to be safe.

How to Use: THIORUB LINIMENT is a combination of five medicines: Thiocolchicoside, Diclofenac, Methyl salicylate, Menthol and Camphor which relieve pain and relax the muscles. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centres in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and to improve pain and movement of muscles. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Methyl salicylate, Menthol and Camphor are topical analgesics (pain reliever). They work by first cooling the skin and then warming it up. This cooling and warming up action improves blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain.
