Press Release: European Medicines Agency recommends restricting use of thiocolchicoside by mouth or injection

The European Medicines Agency’s Committee on Human Medicinal Products (CHMP), in November 2013, recommended that the authorised uses for thiocolchicoside-containing medicines for use by mouth or injection should be restricted across the European Union (EU).

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.
