About Eperifen Capsule
Eperifen Capsule belongs to the class of ‘analgesics’ used in treating acute musculoskeletal (bone, muscles, or ligaments) spasms associated with low back pain. Low back pain, also called lumbago, is a condition that affects the lower portion of the spine. It often occurs due to injury, strain, or sprain in the muscles, bones, or ligaments present in the lower back. In most cases, the only symptom of this condition is a pain in the lower back.
Eperifen Capsule contains Eperisone and Diclofenac. Eperisone is an antispasmodic. It works by relaxing skeletal muscles and reducing myotonia (inability of muscles to relax). It can relax vascular smooth muscles (present in the blood vessels wall) to improve blood circulation. It can also suppress pain reflex. Diclofenac 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 reduce pain.
You should use this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Eperifen Capsule are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, diarrhoea, indigestion, flatulence (gas), loss of appetite, headache, weakness, drowsiness, dizziness, and skin rash or spots.
