Nefopam Tablets

Nefopam Tablets belong to a group of medicines called analgesics, also known as pain killers or pain relivers. Nefopam is the active ingredient and works by interrupting the pain messages being sent to your brain, and acts in your brain to stop pain messages being felt. This means that although they do not stop the pain from happening, you will not be able to feel the pain as much.

Nefopam Tablets are used to relieve acute and chronic pain. This includes; pain after an operation, dental pain, joint pain, or muscle pain. They should not be used to treat pain from a heart attack.

After you buy Nefopam Tablets online, you should always take the medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.

The recommended initial dose for adults is two tablets taken three times a day. However, according to your needs, your doctor may decide to increase your dose to a maximum of three tablets taken three times a day. A Nefopam dose can be as low as 1 tablet per day.

If you are unsure with how many tablets you should take, or if you think the effect is too strong or too weak, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
