Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 which is important for the brain and nerves, and for the production of red blood cells. It is used to treat vitamin B12 deficiency and is sometimes used in people with pernicious anemia, diabetes, and other conditions. Methylcobalamin differs from cyanocobalamin in that the cyano group at the cobalt is replaced with a methyl group. Studies have shown that cyanocobalamin is known to absorb slightly better within the body while methylcobalamin is considered to retain better and for longer. The recommended dose of methylcobalamin is 500 mcg three times daily, or 1500 mcg daily. Methylcobalamin features an octahedral cobalt(III) centre, and can be obtained as bright red crystals.

Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout.

Etoricoxib has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and swelling in joints and muscles, with clinical trials demonstrating a favorable safety profile when compared to Ibuprofen. Additionally, studies have suggested that Etoricoxib may be a more potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug compared to Ibuprofen, but it is being monitored for potential increased risk of myocardial infarction due to its COX-2 inhibition properties.
Rabeprazole sodium is a medication used to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. It is classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and works by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid production. Rabeprazole sodium may also be used in combination with antibiotics to treat ulcers caused by H. Pylori infections. This medication can have side effects such as diarrhea, bone fractures, and vitamin B12 deficiency with prolonged use.

However, too much sodium picosulfate can lead to stomach pain, diarrhea, and dehydration. It is typically safe when used as directed but can have side effects such as bleeding of the rectum, confusion, and dizziness. Sodium picosulfate is commonly prescribed to patients as a strong laxative for bowel preparation.
Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, used in the treatment of orthopedic, traumatic, and rheumatologic disorders.

It is safe for adolescents and adults, but caution should be exercised in patients with certain medical conditions. Its combination with Aceclofenac is used to reduce and relieve pain due to muscle spasms associated with various conditions. Thiocolchicoside has long been used as a muscle relaxant, despite a lack of proven efficacy beyond the placebo effect. There are some known side effects of thiocolchicoside, but it is generally considered safe when used as directed under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
