Description

Description

Nuberol Forte (50/650mg) is a stronger muscle relaxant and pain-relief medicine manufactured by Searle Pakistan, formulated with Orphenadrine Citrate and Paracetamol as its active ingredients. This higher-strength formulation combines a centrally acting muscle relaxant with a potent analgesic, designed for more effective relief of musculoskeletal pain accompanied by muscle spasm. This pack contains 15 tablets. Nuberol Forte is commonly used for conditions such as acute back pain, muscle spasms, sprains, and tension headaches, working by easing overactive muscle contractions while reducing pain and fever.

Ingredients

Each Nuberol Forte tablet contains Orphenadrine Citrate 50mg and Paracetamol 650mg. Orphenadrine Citrate works centrally in the brain and spinal cord, reducing the excessive firing of motor neurons responsible for muscle spasm, while also having mild anticholinergic properties. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, providing effective pain relief and fever reduction. Together, this combination targets both the muscle spasm and the pain signal, making it particularly effective for musculoskeletal pain accompanied by muscle tightness or spasm. The tablet also contains standard inactive excipients that support its formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Nuberol Forte is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 15 tablets. This higher-strength formulation is generally intended for short-term use in managing acute pain and muscle spasm episodes.

Uses

Nuberol Forte is primarily used for the relief of lumbar muscle spasm accompanying acute back pain, as well as muscle tension and spasm in the neck and shoulders. It is also used following sprains, strains, and sports injuries, and can serve as adjunct therapy for muscle guarding after surgery. Additionally, Nuberol Forte is used to manage tension headaches, occipital headaches, and general lower back pain associated with muscle spasm, offering combined relief from both the muscular and pain-related components of these conditions.

How to Use

Nuberol Forte tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician, generally with water, and can be taken with or without food. It is important to strictly follow the prescribed dosage, particularly given the higher paracetamol content in this formulation, since exceeding recommended limits from all sources combined can lead to serious liver-related complications. The medicine is typically intended for short-term use for acute pain and spasm, and any extended use should be guided by a doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Nuberol Forte may include drowsiness, dry mouth, dizziness, and blurred vision, related to the anticholinergic properties of orphenadrine. Some patients may also experience nausea or mild stomach upset. Given its sedating effects, driving or operating machinery should be avoided until the individual understands how their body responds to the medicine. Alcohol should be avoided during treatment, as it can intensify dizziness and drowsiness. Any severe or persistent symptoms should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Nuberol Forte is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as its safety in these situations has not been clearly established, particularly given its higher active ingredient strengths. Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult their doctor about safer alternatives for managing pain and muscle spasm.

Storage Instructions

Store Nuberol Forte tablets at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from moisture. Store the medicine out of reach of children and pets, and do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
