Orphenadrine ER

Drug Details

Orphenadrine is a medication designed to alleviate muscle spasms and pain, typically in conjunction with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments. As a muscle relaxant, its precise mechanism is not fully understood, but it is believed to function by interfering with nerve signals in the nervous system, rather than acting directly on the muscles. Orphenadrine is available in both oral tablet form and as an injectable, administered by a healthcare professional in specific cases. Users may experience side effects such as dry mouth, headache, and drowsiness. While the brand-name version, Norflex, is no longer available, Orphenadrine remains an effective generic option for managing short-term muscle discomfort.
