About Eprisan Tablet

Eprisan Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘antispasmodics’ used to treat muscle spasms. Muscle spasm is the sudden painful and involuntary muscle contractions which occur when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. It is characterized by muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints.

Eprisan Tablet contains ‘Eperisone’, which belongs to the class of antispasmodics. It works by relaxing skeletal muscles and reducing myotonia (inability of muscles to relax). It can relax vascular smooth muscles (muscle found in the wall of blood vessels) and improve blood circulation. It can also suppress pain reflexes. These effects of Eprisan Tablet help to reduce pain and spasms in the muscle effectively.

Eprisan Tablet is available in the form of tablets. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects of Eprisan Tablet are nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, headache, weakness, drowsiness and dizziness. These side effects are mild and temporary. However, inform your doctor immediately if any of these side effects persist or get worse.
