About this item
Dorbaxin (Methocarbamol 500mg) is a trusted choice for managing acute muscle strain and injury. Unlike medications that act directly on the muscle fibers, Dorbaxin works by modulating nerve impulses in the brain and spinal cord to dampen pain signals and reduce localized spasms. It is commonly prescribed to help patients recover from back pain, neck stiffness, and other muscle-related injuries that limit movement.
Dosage of Dorbaxin This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Take as directed by your pharmacist or physician.
- Adults: The typical starting dose is 1500mg (3 tablets) four times daily for the first 48 to 72 hours.
- Maintenance: The dose is usually reduced to 1000mg (2 tablets) four times daily once acute symptoms improve.
Proper Administration
- Method: Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water.
- Food Interaction: May be taken with or without food. If you experience stomach upset, taking it with a meal is recommended.
- Missed Dose: Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
How to Store and Dispose of Dorbaxin
- Storage: Store at room temperature (20°C to 25°C). Keep the container tightly closed and protect it from moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired medication to your local pharmacy for safe disposal to prevent accidental ingestion or environmental harm.
Quick Tips for Dorbaxin
- Combine with Rest: Dorbaxin works best when supported by adequate rest and light stretching as advised by a professional.
- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol significantly increases the sedative effects of this medicine and should be avoided.
- Be Careful with Machines: This drug may cause drowsiness or dizziness; do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Monitor Progress: Most acute conditions resolve within a few weeks; consult your doctor if pain persists beyond the prescribed course.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Dorbaxin
- Kidney Disease: Should not be used in patients with impaired renal function (especially if injectable forms were previously used).
- Known Allergy: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Methocarbamol or any inactive ingredients in the tablet.
- Hypersensitivity: Avoid if you have a history of hypersensitivity to similar muscle relaxants.
Side Effects of Dorbaxin
- Common: Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, or a "metallic" taste in the mouth.
- Serious but Rare: Blurred vision, fainting, slow heartbeat (bradycardia), or jaundice (yellowing of eyes/skin).
- Action: If you experience an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling) or severe confusion, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- CNS Depressants: Caution should be used if taking other CNS depressants, such as anti-anxiety meds or opioids.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor; the safety of methocarbamol during pregnancy or lactation has not been fully established.
- Urine Color: Be aware that Dorbaxin may cause your urine to turn brown, black, or green; this is harmless.
- Pack Size: Available in various sizes (e.g., 30 or 100 tablets).
- Form: Oral Tablet.
Active Ingredient: Methocarbamol 500mg.
