• Muscle spasms and stiffness (e.g., back pain, neck pain, muscle injuries).

• Tension headaches (caused by muscle tightness).

Role of Each Ingredient

• Orphenadrine – A muscle relaxant that reduces pain and stiffness by blocking nerve signals in the brain and spinal cord.
• Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – A pain reliever and fever reducer that works by affecting pain pathways in the brain.

Rare but serious side effects:

• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Liver damage (with excessive paracetamol intake)

Precautions

• Avoid alcohol as it increases drowsiness and liver toxicity risk.
• Use cautiously in elderly patients due to fall risk.
• Monitor liver function if taken long-term (due to paracetamol).
• Avoid in people with glaucoma, enlarged prostate, or heart disease (due to orphenadrine effects).
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Use only under medical advice.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage to prevent liver and heart complications.
