Thiocolchicoside 8 mg + Aceclofenac 100 mg
Stronger muscle-spasm and pain relief
SPLINT-AT 8 doubles the muscle relaxant strength of SPLINT-AT 4. It is used when the muscle spasm is severe — for example, an acute back attack that stops normal movement.
Aceclofenac reduces the swelling and pain, while the higher-strength Thiocolchicoside releases the muscle grip more effectively.

// Chapter 11 — Interactions
What to avoid while taking it
- Do not combine with other painkillers of the same family (ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen) — the stomach risk multiplies.
- Alcohol sharply increases the chance of stomach bleeding — avoid it.
- Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners, steroids, water tablets (diuretics), blood-pressure medicines or methotrexate.
- Stay well hydrated; dehydration puts extra strain on the kidneys with these medicines.
