Anorol 35mg/450mg Tablet x100 (Hovid)

Anorol is a potent skeletal muscle relaxant and analgesic combination used for the relief of acute muscle pain and spasms. Manufactured by Hovid Berhad (Malaysia) and distributed in Nigeria by Phamatex Nigeria Limited, it is a trusted choice for managing musculoskeletal discomfort.

Anorol Tablet Uses

Anorol is primarily used for the short-term relief of pain and stiffness associated with:

• Muscle Spasms and Strains: Relieves sharp, involuntary contractions and physical injuries.
• Back Pain: Effective for lower back pain, sciatica, and prolapsed intervertebral discs.
• Tension Headaches: Helps when muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders causes headaches.
• Sprains: Supports recovery from minor muscle or joint injuries.

How it Works (Composition)

The effectiveness of Anorol comes from its dual-action formula:

• Orphenadrine Citrate (35mg): A centrally acting muscle relaxant that targets the brain's motor centers to reduce muscle stiffness and spasms.
• Paracetamol (450mg): A well-known analgesic that provides fast relief from pain and helps reduce fever.

Anorol Tablet Dosage for Adults

The standard dosage for adults is 1 to 2 tablets, taken 3 to 4 times daily.

• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 8 tablets in a 24-hour period.
• It is recommended to swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Avoid taking other paracetamol-containing products simultaneously to prevent liver complications.

Side Effects and Precautions

Common Anorol tablet side effects may include:

• Dry mouth
• Dizziness or drowsiness
• Blurred vision
• Mild stomach upset

Patients with glaucoma, prostate enlargement, or liver disease should consult a healthcare professional before use. Since Orphenadrine can cause drowsiness, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.

Can a pregnant woman take Anorol tablet?

While Paracetamol is generally considered safe during pregnancy, Orphenadrine should only be used under strict medical supervision. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist online before using this medication.
