Eperisone Pharmacology
Eperisone
Suppression of Spinal Reflexes: In spinal cats, eperisone HCl suppresses mono- and polysynaptic reflex potentials induced through spinal nerve efferent root stimulation to a similar degree.
Reduction of Muscle Spindle Sensitivity via ?-Motor Neurons: Eperisone HCl suppresses the activity of afferent nerve fibers (Ia fibers) from human muscle spindles at 20 min after administration. Eperisone HCl suppresses the spontaneous discharge of ?-motor neurons, but does not act directly on muscle spindles in animals. Accordingly, eperisone HCl reduces muscle spindle sensitivity via the ?-motor neurons.
Vasodilatation and Augmentation of Blood Flow: Vasodilatory Action: Eperisone HCl dilates the blood vessels due to Ca2+-antagonistic action (in guinea pigs) on the vascular smooth muscle and muscular sympatholytic actions (in humans).
Augmentation of Blood Flow: Eperisone HCl increases the volume of blood flow in skin, muscle, external and internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries in humans, monkeys and dogs.
Analgesic Action and Inhibition of the Pain Reflex in the Spinal Cord: When eperisone HCl is perfused into the spinal cord of rats, a tail pinch-induced pain reflex is suppressed, but the reflex returns with the withdrawal of eperisone HCl. This suggests that eperisone HCl possesses an analgesic action at the spinal cord level.
Facilitation of Voluntary Movement: When eperisone HCl is used in the treatment of spastic paralysis in patients with cerebral apoplexy, it improves the cybex torque curve and electromyogram and facilitates voluntary movements eg, extension and flexion of the extremities, without reducing the muscular force.

Home Delivery for Eperisone in Your City
Medicine India is just a publishing medium for medicine related information and does not provide services or sales of medicines including eperisone.
However, we do publish a comprehensive directory of Pharmacies, Chemists and Druggists in cities all over India. You can use this directory to find the medicine stores in your city (or area) that provide home delivery services for eperisone and other medicines and health products. Home delivery services for eperisone may be free or they may cost you depending on the pharmacy and the minimum order requirements. It would be best to get this clarified while placing the order.
Please be aware that you should take eperisone only if a doctor has recommended or prescribed it. Some or all pharmacies who provide a home delivery service for medicines might insist on a prescription for eperisone before they complete the sale. You can get this information while placing the order for eperisone with the pharmacy.
Eperisone is a generic medicine name and there are several brands available for it. Some of the brands for eperisone might be better known than eperisone itself. If the pharmacy that's willing to deliver medicines to your home doesn't have eperisone in stock, you can ask for one of the branded alternatives for eperisone.
