Norflex Skeletal Muscle Relaxant 100mg Tablets 20's

Norflex (active ingredient: orphenadrine citrate) is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant used to alleviate muscle spasms, stiffness, and pain associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions, sprains, and strains. It is typically prescribed alongside rest and physical therapy. Dosage and Usage Standard Adult Dose: 100 mg twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening). Administration: Tablets can be taken with or without food. How it Works Unlike direct-acting relaxants, orphenadrine acts on the central nervous system to inhibit spinal cord and brain stem reflexes. This relaxes the muscles without affecting normal muscle tone, which consequently alleviates pain caused by the spasm. Important Precautions Drowsiness & Alertness: It frequently causes dizziness and lightheadedness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Interactions: Avoid alcohol, sedatives, and other central nervous system depressants while taking Norflex. Side Effects: Common side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, headache, and a rapid heartbeat. Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, or stomach ulcers, as orphenadrine has anticholinergic effects that can worsen these conditions.
