Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old male who was prescribed eperisone hydrochloride for body pain and loose stools after which he developed severe maculopapular rash. Eperisone hydrochloride is an analgesic and antispastic drug used for spastic diseases such as spastic paralysis in cerebrovascular diseases, cervical spondylosis, and periarthritis. The drug is marketed in most of the Asian c...

A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial was undertaken to assess the activity of eperisone hydrochloride (50 mg t.i.d.), a commonly used muscle relaxant, as a treatment for cervical spondylosis in 157 patients. The results showed a clear benefit of eperisone treatment with regard to pain in the nuchal region, back pain, pain in arms and shoulders, stiffness and other symptoms of cervical spo...

INTRODUCTION Eperisone hydrochloride has been recently proposed as a muscle relaxant for the treatment of muscle contracture and chronic low back pain (LBP) as it is devoid of clinically relevant sedative effects on the central nervous system (CNS). We tested this hypothesis by performing a study of patients with LBP and muscle contracture who were treated with full-dose eperisone. METHODS Pa...

eperisone hydrochloride is a skeletal muscle relaxant and paracetamol is cyclooxygenase inhibitor. these drugs in combination are used as antispasmodics. a simple, specific, precise and accurate method was developed, namely reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography for simultaneous estimation of eperisone hydrochloride and paracetamol in tablet dosage form. in rp-hplc method separati...

Eperisone hydrochloride (4'-ethyl-2-methyl-3-piperidinopropiophenone hydrochloride) is an antispastic agent used for treatment of diseases characterized by muscle stiffness and pain. The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of eperisone in patients with acute low back pain and spasticity of spinal muscles. The study design was a randomized, double-blind (double-dummy) study in 1...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Central muscle relaxants are a clinical option in patients with spastic palsy. Eperisone is a central muscle relaxant used in several conditions, but its therapeutic potential in spastic palsy needs to be verified. This dose-ranging trial compares two doses of eperisone in patients with spastic palsy associated to cerebral or spinal diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS In ...

Shakuyaku-kanzo-to (Shao-Yao-Gan-Cao-Tang) is a Kampo medicine, which is known to be effective against muscle cramps as well as crampy pain in the gastrointestinal smooth muscle and skeletal muscle. However, glycyrrhizin in this medicine also causes adverse drug reactions such as hypokalemia, hypertension, and edema. We analyzed the therapeutic efficacy of Shakuyaku-kanzo-to for painful muscle ...
