About Eprisan SR Capsule

Eprisan SR Capsule 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 SR Capsule 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 SR Capsule help to reduce pain and spasms in the muscle effectively.

Eprisan SR Capsule is available in the form of tablets. You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects of Eprisan SR Capsule 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 Eprisan SR Capsule if you are allergic to Eprisan SR Capsule or any other contents. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding women. Before taking Eprisan SR Capsule, inform your doctor if you have any liver disease or are pregnant. Eprisan SR Capsule is not recommended for use in children. Elderly patients may require dose adjustments. Eprisan SR Capsule may not interact with alcohol. Eprisan SR Capsule may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

  • Rest well and get optimal sleep (at least 8 hours for adults).
