CAMIROFEN-10

Description

Camirofen-10 Tablet contains baclofen, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant. It is used mainly to relieve spasticity (muscle stiffness and tightness) due to neurological disorders.

Uses / Indications

• Management of muscle spasticity and stiffness in conditions like multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, motor neuron disease, spinal cord injuries, brain injury, or related neurological disorders.

• Can also be used for muscle rigidity after stroke or head trauma, and persistent muscle spasms that interfere with daily living.

• Occasionally used for persistent hiccups unresponsive to other treatments.

How it Works / Key Benefits

• Baclofen acts on the spinal cord and central nervous system, blocking nerve signals that produce muscle spasms, resulting in improved muscle relaxation and mobility.

• Helps relieve pain from muscle stiffness, improves ease of movement, and quality of life in patients with chronic spastic muscle conditions.

Dosage & Administration

• Take with or after food, at the dose and frequency prescribed by the doctor.

• Dosage is individualized and titrated up gradually to minimize side effects; never start, increase, or stop medication abruptly without medical supervision.

Safety & Side Effects

• Common: Drowsiness, dizziness, headache, weakness, nausea, constipation, low blood pressure, sedation, confusion.

• May cause temporary visual disturbances or agitation, especially when starting or increasing the dose.

• Use with caution in those with kidney or liver problems; may need dose adjustment.

• Avoid alcohol, driving, or operating machinery while on baclofen due to risk of drowsiness or reduced alertness.

• Abrupt discontinuation may cause withdrawal symptoms or seizures—always taper gradually.

Note:
Camirofen-10 should be used exactly as prescribed. Report unusual drowsiness, mental changes, severe weakness, or trouble breathing to the healthcare provider promptly. Regular monitoring is advised for long-term therapy.
