TOLPERISONE HYDROCHLORIDE 150 MG TABLETS

DISCRIPTION

Tolcip-150 Tablet is a combination (Tolperisone 150 mg) is a medicine that helps relax muscles and reduce stiffness or spasms, especially in people with nerve-related problems. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) works by blocking certain signals in the brain and spinal cord that cause tight muscles. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) helps improve movement and reduce pain. It is often used in conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal injuries. Unlike some other muscle relaxants, Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) does not usually make people very sleepy. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) is usually taken after food to avoid stomach upset. The dose depends on your condition and how your body responds.

INDICATIONS

1. Relief of Muscle Spasms and Stiffness (Spasticity): Muscle spasms are sudden, involuntary contractions of one or more muscles, often causing pain and limited movement. Spasticity refers to chronic muscle tightness due to overactive reflexes. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) acts on the central nervous system by blocking nerve signals that cause excessive muscle contraction. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) helps relax the muscles, reduces discomfort, and improves the patient's ability to perform daily activities such as walking, sitting, or dressing.

2. Treatment of Muscle Tightness Caused by Neurological Conditions: Neurological disorders like cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, or brain/spinal cord injuries can cause increased muscle tone or rigidity due to nerve damage. This abnormal muscle tone makes movement painful or difficult. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) reduces the transmission of signals from damaged nerves that cause muscle tightness. By easing this stiffness, the medication supports better motor control and allows for more effective physical therapy.

3. Management of Muscle Spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis (MS): In MS, the immune system damages the protective covering (myelin) of nerves, leading to miscommunication between the brain and body. One of the key symptoms is spasticity—tight or stiff muscles that interfere with movement. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) helps reduce these spasms without causing significant drowsiness (a common issue with other muscle relaxants), making it a suitable option for long-term use in MS patients. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) improves mobility, reduces fatigue caused by muscle tension, and enhances overall comfort.

4. Supportive Treatment for Spinal Cord Disorders (e.g., Spondylosis, Myelopathy): Spinal disorders such as cervical/lumbar spondylosis (degeneration of the spine) or myelopathy (compression of the spinal cord) can lead to nerve irritation and muscle tension. This often results in neck or back stiffness, radiating pain, and limited range of motion. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg), used alongside physical therapy or other medications, helps by relaxing the muscles around the spine, relieving pressure, and enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation efforts.

5. Recovery Aid After Orthopedic or Spinal Surgeries: Post-surgery, especially in orthopedic or spinal procedures, patients may experience painful muscle spasms due to tissue trauma, immobilization, or nerve irritation. These spasms can delay healing and restrict movement. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) helps reduce this postoperative muscle tightness, allowing for smoother recovery, improved mobility, and better pain control. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) is especially helpful during early physiotherapy sessions when regaining motion is crucial.

6. Relief from Pain and Restricted Movement Due to Stroke or Brain Injury: After a stroke or traumatic brain injury, patients often suffer from weakness and increased muscle tone on one side of the body (hemiplegia or hemiparesis). This imbalance causes painful stiffness and limits functional movement. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) works by calming the overactive nerve signals that cause muscle spasticity. By reducing stiffness, the drug supports better posture, coordination, and progress during neuro-rehabilitation exercises.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Tolperisone 150 mg is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that works primarily by inhibiting abnormal nerve reflexes in the spinal cord and brainstem. It stabilizes neuronal membranes by blocking voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels, thereby reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. This action decreases muscle spasticity and improves mobility without causing significant sedation. Tolperisone 150 mg also has mild vasodilatory effects, which can enhance blood flow and reduce muscle pain. Unlike some other muscle relaxants, it maintains mental alertness. It is commonly used to manage conditions like muscle spasms, spasticity due to neurological disorders, and musculoskeletal pain.

PRECAUTION

Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug, as allergic reactions can occur. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) is not recommended in individuals with myasthenia gravis due to the risk of worsening muscle weakness. Caution is advised in patients with liver or kidney impairment, as dose adjustments may be necessary. Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, and while breastfeeding, unless clearly needed. Though Tolcip-150 Tablet (Tolperisone 150 mg) causes minimal sedation, it may still lead to dizziness or drowsiness, so activities like driving or operating machinery should be avoided if these symptoms occur.
