Actions and Spectrum
tolperisone’s muscle relaxant properties can help reduce the intensity and frequency of these spasms, providing relief to individuals experiencing muscle pain and discomfort. This modulation helps reduce muscle contractions and spasticity, leading to muscle relaxation.

Pregnancy consideration:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.
Pharmacology
tolperisone is reduce the influx of calcium ions into muscle cells. This reduction in calcium ion levels can lead to muscle relaxation, which is particularly beneficial in conditions characterized by muscle spasms and spasticity.
Pharmacodynamics
tolperisone may have central nervous system (CNS) effects, including sedation and dizziness. These CNS effects are common side effects of the drug.
The sedative and drowsiness-inducing effects of tolperisone can be advantageous in managing conditions associated with muscle spasms.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
tolperisone is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
Distribution
tolperisone is distributed throughout the body.
Metabolism
tolperisone undergoes metabolism in the liver through various metabolic pathways.
Elimination and excretion
tolperisone is excreted from the body through the kidneys.
Administration
tolperisone is administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules.
