Eprifree Tablet SR 150mg/200mg 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.

Eprifree Tablet SR 150mg/200mg 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.

Pain due to muscle spasms: It is a common condition that occurs due to injury, sprain, or strain to the muscles, bones, or ligaments present in the lower portion of the spine. The common causes are lack of regular exercise, improper postural lifting, inadequate or poor posture, and fracture. Pain in the lower back is the only symptom often seen with this condition. Analgesics (pain relievers) and physical therapy can help to relieve pain. Exercise helps in muscle stretching so that they are less likely to spasm, tear and sprain.
