Indications

Pain Cancer

Neforex is indicated for the relief of acute pain, including post operative, dental, musculoskeletal and acute traumatic pain. It is also indicated for chronic pain such as cancer pain.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Nefopam Hydrochloride is a centrally acting pain reliever that starts working quickly. It seems to act mainly within the central nervous system, affecting both the brain and the spinal cord. Laboratory studies indicate that Nefopam blocks the re-uptake of several catecholamines, including noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine. This suggests that its pain-relieving effect may come, at least in part, from changing the levels of these neuromodulators in the brain and spinal cord.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Nefopam Hydrochloride is not recommended for pregnant women. Evidence suggests that nefopam is excreted in human milk. A decision should made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the medication, taking into account the potential for adverse effects for the foetus and the importance of treatment to the mother.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
