Medicinal Benefits

Tolzest D 150mg/50mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain killers. Tolzest D 150mg/50mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Diclofenac and Tolperisone. Diclofenac is a pain killer (NSAIDs) while Tolperisone is a skeletal muscle relaxant. Diclofenac works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzyme's effects, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. On the other hand, Tolperisone works on the brain and spinal cord centres to relieve muscle stiffness or spasm and relieve pain and improve muscle's movement. Altogether Tolzest D 150mg/50mg Tablet relieves pain and relaxes the muscles.
