Myonal Description

If you have a neuromuscular condition that has impaired the relaxation of a muscle, such as a myotonic disorder, your doctor may prescribe Myonal to provide some comfort from muscle pain and stiffness so you can move about with less effort. There is also a relatively low incidence of drowsiness with Myonal, making it more appealing to those that are undergoing antispasmodic therapy.

Myonal or generic Eperisone also assists in voluntary movement of your upper and lower extremities while maintaining muscle power so it’s a benefit whether taken during your initial stage of rehab therapy or as a supporting medication for subsequent therapy. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Help for Skeletal and Vascular Smooth Muscle Conditions

When taken as directed, Myonal acts mainly at your spinal cord level and lowers the activity of the spinal reflexes and reduces the sensitivity of the muscle spindles in order for the skeletal muscles to relax. This results in improved movement, pain reduction, and better blood flow. Taking Myonal can effectively improve the symptoms of frozen shoulder, cervical and low back pain, limb stiffness, and other diseases that affect your brain and/or spinal cord.

Conditions Treated by Myonal

Myonal may be prescribed to treat spinal vascular disease, spastic spinal paralysis, cervical syndrome, or other conditions that affect your skeletal and vascular smooth muscles. Muscles diseases that involve an abnormal delay in the relaxation of your muscles after contraction are referred to as a myotonic disorder. For instance, if you are gripping something, you may have difficulties letting go. For mild cases, you may be able to manage without the help of medication. If your condition is interfering with performing everyday tasks, you should talk to your doctor about Myonal to regain the ability to function throughout the day without delays.

Before Myonal is Prescribed

Ask your doctor if it is safe to take Myonal while you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. To determine if Myonal is the right medication for you, tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.

Myonal Precautions

Until you know how your body will react to Myonal, avoid operating a vehicle, machinery, or taking on any task that could be considered risky if you are not alert and in control of your body. Never change your Myonal dosage without consulting with your doctor. Do not start or stop any of your other medications as this could alter how Myonal will work for you.
