Robi-D Injection 1's

Robi-D Injection 1's belongs to a group of medicines called 'muscle relaxants'. It is mainly used to relieve pain and muscle spasms due to acute musculoskeletal problems. Muscle spasm is the painful and involuntary contraction that occurs when the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted. Secondly, it also treats tetanus conditions (lockjaw) which are characterized by painful tightening of muscles. Tetanus is a nerve disorder leading to painful muscle contraction, mainly affecting the jaw and neck muscles. 

Robi-D Injection 1's consists of methocarbamol. It works by blocking pain impulses sent to the spinal cord and brain. Thus, it helps to maintain muscle strength and relieve muscle spasms or stiffness. 

Robi-D Injection 1's will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. In some cases, you may experience sleepiness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, headache, flushing, dry mouth, a metallic taste, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects are mild and subside over time. However, if these persist, contact your doctor immediately.

Inform your doctor or lab technician about the usage of Robi-D Injection 1's as this medicine is known to interfere with the test results. Inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, seizures attack (fits/epilepsy) and muscle problems (myasthenia gravis), as Robi-D Injection 1's is not recommended under such conditions. Let your doctor know about all your current medicines and health conditions to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

Robi-D Injection 1's contains Methocarbamol, which is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It works by stopping pain signals (nerve impulses) to the brain, thereby helping relieve muscle stiffness or muscle spasm associated with pain and injury. Robi-D Injection 1's used to treat painful muscle spasms associated with musculoskeletal disorders, like spasms in the lower back, injuries, sprains and strains. Robi-D Injection 1's is more effective with rest and physical therapy to treat muscle conditions such as pain and injury. Additionally, Robi-D Injection 1's is also used to provide relief from tetanus (lockjaw) which causes painful tightening of the muscles.

• Exercising regularly helps in muscle stretching, making them less likely to spasm, tear and sprain. Mild exercises such as jogging and walking are helpful for muscle stretching.
• Massages can also be helpful.
• Avoid extremely cold and hot temperatures.
• Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes; instead, wear loose garments.
• Rest well and get plenty of sleep while on treatment with Robi-D Injection 1's.
• To avoid developing pressure sores, change your position every two hours.
• Hot or cold therapy can help treat muscle spasms. Apply an ice or hot pack on the muscle for 15-20 minutes.
• Stay hydrated, and drink plenty of water.

• Let your doctor and the laboratory staff know if you are using Robi-D Injection 1's as it may interfere with laboratory tests.
• You may need to reduce your dose after the first 2 or 3 days of treatment. Do not take more than the prescribed dose of Robi-D Injection 1's because, at a higher dose, it has increased potential for abuse, especially among people with a history of narcotic abuse.

Muscle spasm: It is caused by sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle that can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses controlling the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it leads to muscle spasms. Symptoms include muscle tightness, joint stiffness, unusual posture, difficulty moving, and pain in affected muscles and joints. Conditions triggering muscle spasms include fatigue (weakness), stress, extreme heat or cold, infection, and tight clothing. Muscle relaxants, together with rest and exercise, can treat muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants sedate the muscle and help inhibit painful contractions. Exercise stretches muscles, making them less likely to spasm, tear and sprain.

Tetanus: Also known as lockjaw, is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani. After invading the body, these bacteria produce a toxin that causes painful muscle contractions. It causes neck or jaw muscles to lock, making it hard to open the mouth or swallow food/drinks.
