Uses:

Treatment of Muscle spasm

Medicinal Benefits:

Epizot 50mg/325mg Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely; Eperisone (muscle relaxant) and Paracetamol (painkiller). Eperisone is a muscle relaxant with an analgesic effect. It reduces muscle stiffness and spasticity, enabling the movement of muscles easily. It can be used during rehabilitation (restoring functional ability in people with physical disabilities) as it can allow voluntary movement of the upper and lower extremities without using muscle power. On the other hand, Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It inhibits cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that further prevent the formation of chemical messengers called 'prostaglandins' (PGs). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the COX enzyme's effect, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Together, Epizot 50mg/325mg Tablet helps in relieving pain due to muscle spasms.
