Epenos Suspended Tablet (Eperisone Hydrochloride)

This medication is a sustained-release tablet and should be taken whole without crushing, splitting, or chewing. Take 1 tablet (75mg of Eperisone Hydrochloride) orally after meals, twice a day. Dosage may be appropriately adjusted according to age and symptoms.

This medication should not be used in patients with hypersensitivity to it or those with severe myasthenia gravis. It should be administered with caution in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to the drug or with liver function problems, closely monitoring for the possibility of worsening liver function. During treatment with this medication, allergic reactions or severe skin reactions may rarely occur, so if symptoms such as redness, itching, hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, fever, blisters, conjunctival injection, or stomatitis occur, use should be discontinued immediately and medical consultation should be sought. Various abnormal reactions may occur, such as liver or kidney dysfunction, blood abnormalities, neurological symptoms (insomnia, drowsiness, headache, etc.), gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc.), urinary symptoms (urinary retention, incontinence, etc.), and systemic symptoms (weakness, dizziness, etc.), so any unusual symptoms should be reported to medical personnel. Drowsiness, dizziness, and weakness may occur during treatment, so the dosage should be reduced or discontinued if these symptoms arise, and driving or operating dangerous machinery should be avoided due to drowsiness or decreased attention. The safety of this medication during pregnancy has not been established, so it should only be used in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant when the benefits outweigh the risks. If nursing, it is preferable to avoid use, and if unavoidable, breastfeeding should be stopped. Safety has not been fully confirmed in children, so caution is necessary. In elderly patients, body functions may be diminished, so careful dosage adjustments and monitoring should be undertaken. Additionally, using this medication in conjunction with other similar medications or specific muscle relaxants can lead to visual disturbances, so caution is recommended when co-administering.
