About Nefosar 20mg/Ml Injection

Nefosar 20mg/Ml Injection belongs to the group of 'non-opioid analgesics', primarily used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It is used to treat post-surgical pain, pain during dental procedures, muscular pain, and pain associated with cancer. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body.

Nefosar 20mg/Ml Injection contains 'Nefopam,' which works by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, thus decreasing pain perception. Nefopam also has antipyretic (fever-reducing) action and muscle-relaxing properties.
