About Myo-MR Plus Tablet

Myo-MR Plus Tablet belongs to the class of medicine called 'muscle relaxant' in combination with a painkiller, used to treat muscle spasms. It improves the movement of muscles and provides relief from pain and discomfort caused by the muscle spasm. A muscle spasm occurs due to involuntary contractions of a muscle. A spasm may be a twitch in the muscle or may feel tight or hard, like a knot.

Myo-MR Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Tolperisone hydrochloride (muscle relaxant) and Paracetamol (pain killer). Tolperisone hydrochloride is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It works on the spinal cord and brain to relieve contraction or muscle stiffness. It also increases the supply of blood to the muscles. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevent the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your pain. Common side effects of Myo-MR Plus Tablet include nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, and sleepiness. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually.

Inform your doctor if you have any liver, heart, or kidney diseases, myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), and phenylketonuria (a genetic disorder that causes an amino acid build-up, phenylalanine) and alcohol dependency. Consult your doctor before taking Myo-MR Plus Tablet if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Myo-MR Plus Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert and focused. Myo-MR Plus Tablet should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol and Myo-MR Plus Tablet as it could lead to increased dizziness and risk of liver damage.
