TOLDIN P TABLET

TOLDIN P TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’ used to treat pain associated with chronic (long-term) conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, etc. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative bone disease in which the tissue supporting the joints wears down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the immune system attacks its own tissue leading to joint pain and inflammation. Ankylosing spondylitis is the inflammation of the spine and large joints.

TOLDIN P TABLET contains Etodolac and Paracetamol. Etodolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Paracetamol is an analgesic. They act by blocking the production of chemical substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. The inhibition of these substances can cause a decrease in symptoms such as pain, joint stiffness, and tenderness.

• In the chronic conditions of arthritis or joint pain, try to include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that minimize levels of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible, and only for a short duration of time.

Besides this, you can also use a footrest if required.
