Tolkem Tablet contains tolperisone (150 mg). Here's how it works:

• Neuronal Membrane Stabilisation: Tolperisone acts by blocking voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels in neurons. This helps stabilise nerve membranes and reduces their excitability, leading to a decrease in muscle spasms.

• Inhibition of Neurotransmitter Pathways: The medicine also inhibits descending noradrenergic and serotonergic pathways that facilitate muscle tone and spinal reflexes. This further assists in relieving muscle spasms without significantly affecting neuromuscular transmission.

By acting through these mechanisms, Tolkem Tablet helps manage painful muscle spasms and spasticity related to various neurological disorders and musculoskeletal conditions.

• Keep Tolkem Tablet in a dry place, safeguarded from light and moisture.

• The ideal storage temperature is not exceeding 30°C.

• Always store this medicine out of children's reach for safety reasons.

• Make sure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you're taking Tolkem Tablet to manage muscle spasms or spasticity, incorporating physical activity into your routine could be beneficial. Regular exercise can help enhance mobility and decrease muscle rigidity.
