Aptflam-PT Tablet is a combination of a muscle relaxant (Thiocolchicoside) and two pain relievers (Aceclofenac and Paracetamol). The muscle relaxant works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve movement of muscles. The pain relievers work by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).

Aptflam-PT Tablet is typically used for short-term relief and can be discontinued when the pain subsides. However, continued use under doctor's advice is essential.

Aptflam-PT Tablet may pose a risk to patients with known hypersensitivity to painkillers or any component of its formulation. Additionally, it should be avoided in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers or active/recurrent gastric ulcer/bleeding.
