How to take this drug

Usually taken as 1 capsule twice daily (morning and night), with or without food. Your doctor will decide whether you need the 75mg or 150mg strength based on your condition. Swallow the capsule whole with water — do not crush or open it. Always follow your doctor's specific instructions.

What if I Miss a Dose?

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 capsules at once to make up for a missed dose.

What to watch out for

This medicine can make you very drowsy — do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything that requires full alertness until you know how it affects you. Do not stop taking it suddenly without your doctor's advice, as this can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, sleep problems, and anxiety. Only buy from trusted pharmacies — brands like Neuracalm 75, Neuracalm 150, or Syrenev Plus are available in Nigeria; avoid unregistered products from roadside sellers.

Drug Interactions

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can make the drowsiness and dizziness much worse. Be careful if you are taking other painkillers like tramadol or sedatives — the combined drowsiness can be dangerous.
