Indications
Tolperisone + Lidocaine is used when the tone of the skeletal muscles is increased because of organic neurological disorders (e.g. injury of the pyramidal tract, multiple sclerosis, myelopathy, encephalomyelitis etc.). It is also used for muscular hypertension, muscular spasm, muscular contracture, rigidity, spinal automatism and discopathy. The medicine is further used for obliterative vascular diseases (obliterative arteriosclerosis, diabetic angiopathy, obliterative thromboangitis, Raynaud's disease, diffuse scleroderma) and for disorders due to injured innervation of the vessels (acrocyanosis, intermittent angioneurotic dysbasia). In individual cases, it is also used for post-thrombotic venous and lymphatic circulation disorders and crural ulcer.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Tolperisone Hydrochloride is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It reduces muscular hypertonicity, improves blood flow in the peripheral parts of the body by widening the blood vessels (vasodilatation), and reduces pain. Lidocaine works as a local anesthetic. It steadies the neuronal membrane by blocking the ionic fluxes needed to start and carry nerve impulses, and this is how it produces its local anesthetic action.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Tolperisone hydrochloride can be used in pregnancy only on a physician's advice. During breastfeeding, it should not be used.
