Orphesic 35mg x 100 Tablets: Relief for Muscle Spasms & Pain
Orphesic is a highly effective combination medication widely used in Nigeria to treat acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. By combining a muscle relaxant with a proven pain reliever, it provides dual-action relief from stiffness and discomfort.
Produced by Pharma-Deko Plc, Orphesic is a trusted choice for managing physical strain and injury-related pain.
What is the work of Orphesic Tablet?
Orphesic works through its two active ingredients:
- Orphenadrine Citrate (35mg): This skeletal muscle relaxant acts on the central nervous system to reduce muscle rigidity and "unlock" painful spasms.
- Paracetamol (450mg): A reliable analgesic that raises the body's pain threshold and helps manage fever.
Together, these ingredients make Orphesic effective for a variety of conditions, including:
- Muscle Spasms: Quick relief from involuntary muscle contractions.
- Lower Back Pain: Helping regain mobility after strains or "bend-over" injuries.
- Tension Headaches: Relief from headaches caused by neck and shoulder tension.
- Strains and Sprains: Recovery from sports or domestic accidents.
Orphesic Dosage for Adults
To achieve the best results while staying safe, it is important to follow the correct orphesic dosage for adults. While you should always follow your doctor’s specific instructions:
- Standard Dosage: The typical dose is 2 tablets taken two to three times daily.
- Maximum Limit: Do not exceed 6 tablets within a 24-hour period.
- Administration: Swallow the tablets whole with water. Taking them after food can help prevent stomach discomfort.
Safety and Precautions
- Drowsiness: Orphesic may cause mild dizziness or blurred vision. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Ulcer Patients: If you have a history of stomach ulcers, Orphesic is generally considered safer than NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen), but you should still consult a GoMed pharmacist before use.
- Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may increase drowsiness.
