Description

Orphenadrine 60 mg/2 mL solution is a centrally acting muscle relaxant commonly used for the treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain and discomfort. It is often prescribed to relieve muscle spasms associated with conditions such as strains, sprains, or injuries. The solution is typically administered through intramuscular or intravenous injection, depending on the clinical scenario, and is intended for short-term use.

The primary mechanism of action of orphenadrine involves the inhibition of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly acetylcholine. By blocking acetylcholine receptors, orphenadrine reduces muscle spasm and provides pain relief. In addition to its muscle-relaxing properties, orphenadrine also has mild analgesic and sedative effects.

Orphenadrine is generally well tolerated when used appropriately, but it may cause side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, or urinary retention. In rare cases, more serious side effects like allergic reactions or confusion may occur. It is important to monitor patients closely, particularly those with a history of cardiovascular conditions.
