Orphetab Tablet 100 mg

Who is this for?

Orphenadrine citrate is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking pain signals and reducing muscle stiffness and spasms in your body. It also has a mild pain-relieving effect.

Blocks muscarinic cholinergic receptors and inhibits monoamine reuptake, reducing muscle hyperactivity and spasm while providing mild analgesic and sedative effects that promote muscle relaxation and pain relief.

Is Orphenadrine safe to take with another drug?

Adults usually take one 100 mg tablet twice a day — one in the morning and one in the evening. You can take it with or without food, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. In Nigeria, you may find it as Norpiflex Tablet or Orphetab 100 mg Tablet.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two tablets at once to make up for it.

Alcohol — drinking alcohol while taking orphenadrine can make you very drowsy and dizzy, so avoid it. Antihistamines like chlorpheniramine or promethazine — combining them can increase drowsiness and dry mouth. Other muscle relaxants or sedatives — taking them together can cause dangerous levels of drowsiness.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in your car or near windows. Keep it in its original container and far from the reach of children.
