MYOMAX 150MG 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.

MYOMAX 150MG 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 MYOMAX 150MG TABLET help to reduce pain and spasms in the muscle effectively.

MYOMAX 150MG TABLET is available in the form of tablets. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects of MYOMAX 150MG 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.

It is not recommended to take MYOMAX 150MG TABLET if you are allergic to MYOMAX 150MG TABLET or any other contents. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding women.

MYOMAX 150MG TABLET is a muscle relaxant that also shows an analgesic effect. It reduces muscle stiffness and spasticity, enabling the movement of muscles easily. It is usually well tolerated when taken at recommended doses. Though it causes drowsiness, this effect has a very low incidence with MYOMAX 150MG TABLET compared to other antispasmodic drugs. It can be used during rehabilitation (restoring functional ability in people with physical disabilities) as it can allow voluntary movement of the upper and lower extremities without using muscle power.

Drug-Drug Interactions: MYOMAX 150MG TABLET may interact with a muscle relaxant (methocarbamol) and cause accommodation in the eye (increase in the eye's optical power to view an image clearly).

Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found.

Drug-Disease Interactions: MYOMAX 150MG TABLET should be used with caution in patients with liver impairment.

• METHOCARBAMOL

• Exercising regularly helps in muscle stretching so that they are less likely to spasm, tear, and sprain. Mild exercises such as jogging and walking are helpful for muscle stretching.
• Deep tissue massages with the help of a muscle massager are considered helpful.
• Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes; instead, wear loose garments.
• Rest well and get optimal sleep (at least 8 hours for adults).
• Hot or cold therapy can help treat muscle spasms.
• Apply an ice pack or hot-pack on the muscle for 15-20 minutes.
• Try to include glycine (protein) in your daily diet, which is good food for your muscle.

• Your doctor may advise you to undergo regular blood tests to monitor liver function while using MYOMAX 150MG TABLET .

Muscle spasm: Muscle contractions that occur unexpectedly and without warning can be unpleasant and uncomfortable. Muscle spasms can occur when the nerve signals that control muscle action are disrupted or stopped. Muscle tightness, joint stiffness, atypical posture, trouble moving, and discomfort in afflicted muscles and joints are all symptoms. Muscle spasms can be triggered by fatigue (weakness), stress, excessive heat or cold, illness, and tight clothing. Muscular relaxants and exercise can both be used to treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants numb the muscle and aid in preventing unpleasant contractions. Exercise helps muscles stretch, making them less prone to spasms, tears, or sprains.
