Myofen 30 Capsules

Myofen 30 Capsules

Description:

Myofen 30 Capsules is an oral prescription-only muscle relaxant and analgesic medicine that combines chlorzoxazone and ibuprofen to relieve acute painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is commonly used for short-term management of muscle spasm, back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and sports-related injuries, usually alongside rest and physical therapy. Myofen, produced by Eva Pharma, acts centrally to relax skeletal muscles while providing strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, helping patients restore mobility and reduce discomfort in everyday activities.

Indications:

• Relief of acute painful musculoskeletal conditions associated with muscle spasm and stiffness.
• Management of low back pain, lumbago, and sciatica-related muscular pain (as prescribed by a physician).
• Adjunctive treatment in neck pain, shoulder pain, and cervical or lumbar muscle strain.
• Relief of muscle pain and cramps due to sprains, strains, and minor sports injuries.
• Supportive therapy with rest and physical rehabilitation in post-traumatic or post-exertional muscle spasm.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Chlorzoxazone – exact strength per capsule is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).
• Ibuprofen – exact strength per capsule is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Dosage for adults: The usual dose and frequency must be determined by the prescribing physician based on the severity of pain, patient age, and clinical condition. Follow your doctor’s instructions and the package insert exactly.
• Route of administration: Oral use only. Swallow the capsules whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew.
• With or without food: To reduce the risk of stomach upset related to ibuprofen, it is generally recommended to take Myofen with food or after meals, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• Duration of use: Intended for short-term use in acute conditions. Do not use for longer than prescribed. If pain or muscle spasm persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
• Missed dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Not recommended without medical advice in children or adolescents; dosing in these groups must be strictly guided by a physician if indicated.

Clinical Benefits:

• Relieves muscle spasm: Chlorzoxazone acts centrally on the spinal cord and subcortical areas of the brain to reduce involuntary skeletal muscle spasm and associated tightness.
• Powerful pain relief: Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid), helps alleviate mild to moderate pain related to muscle strain, sprain, and joint involvement.
• Anti-inflammatory action: Ibuprofen reduces inflammation, swelling, and tenderness in affected muscles and joints, improving comfort and mobility.
• Improved mobility and function: By decreasing pain and muscle stiffness, Myofen supports better range of motion and faster return to normal daily activities when combined with rest and physical therapy.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Hypersensitivity: Do not use Myofen if you are allergic to chlorzoxazone, ibuprofen, other nsaids (such as aspirin, diclofenac, naproxen), or any of the product’s components.
• Gastrointestinal risk: Ibuprofen may increase the risk of stomach irritation, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in elderly patients, those with a history of ulcers, or when used with alcohol, corticosteroids, or other nsaids.
• Cardiovascular risk: Nsaids may be associated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke, particularly with prolonged use or in patients with existing cardiovascular disease. Use only under medical supervision if you have heart disease, hypertension, or risk factors for cardiovascular events.
• Liver function: Chlorzoxazone has been associated with rare but serious liver toxicity. Discontinue use and contact your doctor if you develop symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dark urine, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), or persistent abdominal pain.
• Kidney function: Ibuprofen may affect kidney function, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney disease, dehydration, heart failure, or those taking diuretics or ace inhibitors. Use with caution and under medical supervision.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Ibuprofen is generally avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy.
• Driving and operating machinery: Chlorzoxazone may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or light-headedness. Avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing tasks requiring alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Myofen, as it can increase the risk of drowsiness, liver toxicity, and stomach bleeding.
• Drug interactions: Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, especially other nsaids, aspirin, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelet agents, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssris), corticosteroids, certain antihypertensives, and nephrotoxic drugs.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, asthma, or bleeding disorders.
