Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant that has been authorised by national procedures in several EU Member States for use by mouth or injection into the muscles in the treatment of painful muscular disorders. Thiocolchicoside is marketed under the brand name Muscoril among others. Thiocolchicoside (TCC) is used clinically for its muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, and it has been shown to interact with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptors (GABAARs) and strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors in the rat central nervous system.

Sample Use Guides
For oral use: The recommended and maximal dose of Muscoril (Thiocolchicoside) is 8 mg every 12 hours (i.e. 16 mg per day). The treatment duration is limited to 7 consecutive days.
For IM use: The recommended and maximal dose of Muscoril Injection is 4 mg every 12 hours (i.e. 8 mg per day). The treatment duration is limited to 5 consecutive days.
Route of Administration:
Other
The phasic and tonic GABAAR-mediated currents recorded from Purkinje cells and granule neurons, respectively, in parasagittal cerebellar slices from adult male rats were inhibited by Thiocolchicoside in a concentration-dependent manner. The median inhibitory concentrations of Thiocolchicoside for these effects were approximately 0.15 and approximately 0.9 uM, respectively.
