About Myoresal XL 10 Capsule

Myoresal XL 10 Capsule belongs to the group of medicines called 'muscle relaxants' used to reduce and relieve the muscle spasms (excessive tension in the muscles) occurring in various illnesses. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms.

Myoresal XL 10 Capsule works by inhibiting the reflexes at the spinal level and helps in relieving pain and improves muscle movements. Myoresal XL 10 Capsule works on the spinal cord and brain, thereby helps in maintaining muscle strength and relieves muscle spasms or stiffness. Thus Myoresal XL 10 Capsule reduces muscle spasm in the conditions of multiple sclerosis (a disorder which affects the brain and spinal cord), cerebrovascular accidents (damage to the brain due to lack of blood supply), cerebral palsy (a disorder of movement, posture and muscle tone), spinal cord diseases and other nervous system disorders.

Take Myoresal XL 10 Capsule with food. You are advised to take Myoresal XL 10 Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as sleepiness, drowsiness, nausea, headache, weakness, and dry mouth. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are suggested to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Do not discontinue Myoresal XL 10 Capsule suddenly as it could lead to unpleasant side-effects such as rigidity, increased heart rate, changes in mood, fever, mental disorders, confusion, hallucinations, and fits (seizures). Consult your doctor before taking Myoresal XL 10 Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Myoresal XL 10 Capsule is not recommended for children below 4 years of age and those who weigh below 33kgs. Inform your doctor about all the current medicines you are taking and about your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side-effects. Please speak to your doctor immediately if you experience mood swings, depression, or if you have any suicidal thoughts.
