Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action
Tolperisone Hydrochloride is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It effectively reduces muscular hypertonicity, improves peripheral blood flow by vasodilatation and reduces pain. Lidocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action.
