1. What are the uses of Myotalvic 50?


Myotalvic 50 contains the main ingredient Tolperison Hydrochloride 50 mg or 150 mg.
Pharmacodynamics:
Tolperison in Myotalvic 50 is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with complex action. Thanks to its membrane stabilizing and local anesthetic properties, tolperisone can inhibit conduction in the primary nerve fibers and motor neurons of the patient. This helps to inhibit polysynaptic and single-synaptic reflexes. On the other hand, Tolperison also inhibits the influx of Ca2+ entering the synapse (an inhibitor of neurotransmitter release). In the brain stem, tolperison inhibits the reticular–spinal reflex. According to studies performed in animal models, tolperisone can reduce increased muscle tone and spasticity after brain loss. At the same time, Tolperison also helps to improve peripheral circulation. This effect may be related to the mild antispasmodic and anti-adrenergic effects of tolperison. Pharmacokinetics:
After oral administration, tolperison will be well absorbed in the small intestine. Peak plasma concentrations are reached 30 minutes to 1 hour after oral administration. Due to the strong first-pass metabolism, the bioavailability of Myotalvic 50 will be about 20%. High-fat meals can increase the bioavailability of oral Myotalvic 50 by up to 100% and increase peak serum concentrations by about 45% compared with a light meal. Peak concentrations are reached approximately 30 minutes after oral administration. In the human body, Tolperison is extensively metabolized by the liver and kidneys. It is eliminated mainly by the kidneys (over 99%) as metabolites. The pharmacological activity of the metabolite is currently unknown.
