About Eprenac Tablet

Eprenac Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat pain associated with muscle spasms that usually occur due to muscle strains, sprains, or injuries in the lower back. It reduces muscle stiffness and enables easy movement of the muscle. The common causes of muscle spasms are lack of regular exercise, improper postural lifting, inadequate or poor posture, and fractures.

Eprenac Tablet contains Eperisone and Aceclofenac. Eperisone is an antispasmodic. It works by relaxing skeletal muscles and reducing myotonia (inability of muscles to relax). It relaxes vascular smooth muscles (present in the blood vessel wall) and improves blood circulation. Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing prostaglandins' production (chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation) at the affected site (muscle) and easing pain.

Take Eprenac Tablet  exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Eprenac Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, indigestion, flatulence (gas), lack of appetite, headache, weakness, drowsiness, disorientation, and skin rash or patches. Most of these adverse effects are minimal and only last a short time. Contact your doctor right away if any of these side effects persist or worsen.

Before taking Eprenac Tablet , notify your doctor if you have stomach bleeding or ulcers, a history of stomach or intestinal troubles with NSAIDs, severe liver, kidney, or heart failure, a history of heart attack or stroke, or problems with blood circulation. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should consult a doctor before taking Eprenac Tablet . It should be used with caution in older individuals. Alcohol should be avoided at all costs because it increases the risk of harmful consequences. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you are not fully attentive, as Eprenac Tablet may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
