Orphesic 35mg x 100 Tablets: Relief for Muscle Spasms & Pain
Orphesic is a potent combination medication used to treat acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you are dealing with a stiff neck, back strain, or muscle spasms from a sports injury, Orphesic provides dual-action relief by relaxing tight muscles and reducing pain.
Manufactured in Nigeria by Ecomed Pharma Limited, this medication is a trusted choice for those needing fast-acting relief from physical discomfort.
What is the work of Orphesic Tablet?
Orphesic works by combining two active ingredients:
- Orphenadrine Citrate (35mg): A skeletal muscle relaxant that works on the central nervous system to reduce muscle rigidity and spasms.
- Paracetamol (450mg): A well-known pain reliever (analgesic) that targets the sensation of pain and helps reduce fever.
Orphesic Tablet Uses
In Nigeria, doctors and pharmacists frequently recommend Orphesic for:
- Muscle Spasms: Quick relief from involuntary muscle contractions.
- Lower Back Pain: Helping you regain mobility after a strain or "bend-over" injury.
- Tension Headaches: Relief from headaches caused by muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders.
- Sprains and Strains: Recovery from sports-related injuries or domestic accidents.
Orphesic Dosage for Adults
The correct orphesic dosage for adults is essential for effective treatment. While you should always follow your doctor’s prescription:
- Standard Dose: 2 tablets taken two to three times daily.
- Maximum Limit: Do not exceed 6 tablets within any 24-hour period.
- Administration: Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. It is often recommended to take them after a meal to prevent stomach upset.
Important Safety Information
- Side Effects: Some users may experience dry mouth, dizziness, or mild drowsiness.
