Product Details

Duragesic Forte Tablets 650/50mg is a combination medication containing Paracetamol and Orphenadrine Citrate. Orphenadrine acts as a skeletal muscle relaxant, while Paracetamol functions as an analgesic and antipyretic. Together, these components help alleviate muscle spasms and associated pain.

Purposes

Duragesic Forte Tablets 650/50mg are primarily used to treat tension headaches, occipital headaches caused by skeletal muscle spasms in the head and neck, and acute musculoskeletal conditions like sprains, strains, and whiplash injuries. This medication is particularly effective in relieving discomfort from prolapsed intervertebral discs and acute torticollis.

Warnings

Orphenadrine citrate should be administered with caution in patients with tachycardia, cardiac decompensation, coronary insufficiency, or cardiac arrhythmias. Paracetamol requires careful usage in individuals with hepatic or renal dysfunction. Long-term use of Duragesic Forte Tablets 650/50mg requires periodic monitoring of blood, urine, and liver functions.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Orphenadrine Citrate include dry mouth, tachycardia, palpitations, urinary retention, blurred vision, and dizziness. In rare cases, it may cause mental confusion in elderly patients or aplastic anemia. Paracetamol has fewer reported adverse reactions, though it may cause dyspepsia, nausea, or allergic responses in some individuals.

Cautions

Concomitant use of Duragesic Forte Tablets 650/50mg with other medications containing Orphenadrine or Paracetamol is not recommended. Patients should consult their physician before using this medication, particularly if they have underlying health conditions such as glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, or hypersensitivity to its ingredients.
