How it works
Dvnac-TH Injection is a combination of two medicines: Thiocolchicoside and Diclofenac, which relieves muscle pain. Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant. It works on the centers in the brain and spinal cord to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and improve 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).

Can I stop taking Dvnac-TH Injection when my pain is relieved?

What are the instructions for the storage and disposal of Dvnac-TH Injection?

Can the use of Dvnac-TH Injection cause dizziness?
Dizziness (feeling faint, weak, unsteady, or lightheaded) may occur as a side effect of Dvnac-TH Injection in some patients. If you experience dizziness, rest for a while and resume your activities only when you feel better.
Can the use of Dvnac-TH Injection cause damage to kidneys?
Long-term use of Dvnac-TH Injection may potentially lead to kidney damage. Prostaglandins, chemicals that protect your kidneys, are usually produced by the body's natural process; however, painkillers can reduce prostaglandin levels over time, leading to increased risk of kidney problems. Patients with pre-existing kidney diseases should avoid using this medication.
Will a higher than the recommended dose of Dvnac-TH Injection be more effective?
Increasing the dosage of Dvnac-TH Injection may not lead to greater effectiveness. Instead, it might increase the likelihood of side effects and potential toxicity. If you are experiencing increased symptoms that do not respond to recommended doses, consult your healthcare provider for a reassessment.
