Indicated for: moderate to severe pain
Route of administration: oral
Substance: flupirtine (analgesic and antipyretic)
ATC: N02BG07 (Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics)
Flupirtine is an analgesic medication used to relieve moderate to severe pain, especially musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain. It works by relaxing muscles and reducing pain signals in the central nervous system, without significant anti-inflammatory or sedative effects.
Flupirtine is taken orally as capsules or tablets, as directed by your doctor. The dose and duration of treatment are determined individually, depending on pain intensity and patient response.
Side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or digestive disturbances. Rarely, more serious reactions such as liver damage may occur. If you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, stop the treatment and contact your doctor immediately.
Flupirtine can be effective in pain control, but its use requires careful medical monitoring, especially due to the risk of liver damage, and it is not recommended for long-term treatments.
