Overview
Anarex Tablet is a fixed-dose combination of orphenadrine citrate, a muscle relaxant, and paracetamol, a pain reliever, used to relieve muscle spasm and pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain or muscle strain.
Orphenadrine relaxes tense skeletal muscles by acting on the central nervous system and blocking certain nerve signals involved in muscle spasm, while paracetamol relieves the accompanying pain. Together, they address both the muscle tightness and the pain that often occur together in musculoskeletal complaints.
How it Works
Orphenadrine has central anticholinergic and mild antihistaminic activity that produces muscle relaxation, likely through effects on the central nervous system rather than a direct action on the muscle itself. Paracetamol relieves pain and reduces fever through actions on pain and temperature-regulating pathways in the central nervous system.
Directions for Use
Take Anarex Tablet with or after food to reduce stomach upset, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Avoid taking other paracetamol-containing products at the same time to prevent accidental overdose, and avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.
Dosage
The usual dose of Anarex Tablet is determined by your doctor based on your condition, typically taken two to three times daily for a short course. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration, as this contains paracetamol, which carries a risk of liver damage in overdose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Anarex Tablet used for?
Anarex Tablet is used to relieve muscle spasm and associated pain in musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, combining a muscle relaxant with a pain reliever.
Why must I be careful about other medicines I take with this one?
This medicine contains paracetamol, so taking it alongside other paracetamol-containing products (including many cold and flu remedies) can lead to an accidental overdose, which can seriously damage the liver.
Can I drink alcohol while taking this medicine?
It is best to avoid alcohol, as it can increase drowsiness and, combined with paracetamol, may increase the risk of liver-related side effects.
Why does this medicine make me feel drowsy?
Orphenadrine acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles, and this same action commonly causes drowsiness, so caution is needed with driving or operating machinery.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Anarex Tablet?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose – in that case, skip the missed dose and continue as normal. Do not double the dose.
