Medicine information
Uses & overview
Tolperisone HCl (150 mg) Tablets contain tolperisone hydrochloride, a centrally acting muscle relaxant that acts on the nervous system to help reduce increased muscle tone in selected medical conditions. A healthcare professional may prescribe tolperisone in situations where reducing muscle stiffness is considered appropriate. The approved uses and clinical recommendations for tolperisone can differ between countries, so treatment should follow local prescribing information. Muscle stiffness and increased muscle tone can occur for different reasons, including certain neurological or musculoskeletal conditions. Tolperisone may help manage symptoms in eligible patients, but it does not treat every cause of muscle pain or stiffness. A proper medical assessment is important to determine whether this medicine is suitable and whether other treatments, such as physiotherapy, are needed. Tolperisone requires careful use because it may cause dizziness, weakness, or other adverse effects. Hypersensitivity reactions, including serious allergic reactions, have also been reported. Stop taking the medicine and seek urgent medical attention if you develop swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or another sign of a severe allergic reaction. Before starting treatment, inform your healthcare professional about any previous medicine allergies, kidney or liver problems, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and all other medicines or supplements you use. Follow the prescribed dose and duration, and do not increase the dose if symptoms continue. If your symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by new neurological symptoms, seek medical assessment.
