Tolperisone acts by relaxing the muscles, reducing muscle spasms and stiffness.

In rare cases, Tolpetablet D may cause serious side effects such as allergic reactions, stomach ulcers, liver or kidney problems, high blood pressure, or heart problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, black stools, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including any supplements or herbal products. Some common drug interactions with Tolpetablet D include interactions with blood thinners, diuretics, certain antidepressants, and certain anticoagulant medications. These interactions can potentially increase the risk of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of either medication. Always consult your healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication while taking Tolpetablet D.
