Myosone Plus Tablet 6's

Myosone Plus Tablet belongs to the class of medications called antispasmodics combined with a painkiller 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.

Myosone Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Eperisone (muscle relaxant) and Paracetamol (pain killer). Eperisone works by relaxing skeletal muscles and reducing myotonia (inability of muscles to relax). It can relax vascular smooth muscles (smooth muscle found in the wall of blood vessels) and improve blood circulation. It can also suppress pain reflexes. These effects of Myosone Plus Tablet help to reduce pain and spasms in the muscle effectively. 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. Collectively, Myosone Plus Tablet helps to reduce pain and spasms in the muscle effectively.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects of Myosone Plus Tablet are nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, headache, weakness, drowsiness, and dizziness. Most of these side effects are mild and temporary.

Myosone Plus Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely; Eperisone (muscle relaxant) and Paracetamol (painkiller). Eperisone is a muscle relaxant with an analgesic effect. It reduces muscle stiffness and spasticity, enabling the movement of muscles easily. 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. On the other hand, 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. Together, Myosone Plus Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.

• 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 Myosone Plus Tablet.

Muscle spasm: The sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, pain in affected muscles and joints. Fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection and tight clothing can trigger muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants and exercise can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help in inhibiting painful contractions. Exercise helps in muscle stretching so that they are less likely to spasm, tear and sprain.
