Uses of Optalidon 175mg/25mg Tablet

Optalidon 175mg/25mg Tablet is used for short-term relief of mild to moderate pain, particularly tension headache. It can also help with toothache, period pain and general aches. Propyphenazone is the main pain reliever, while caffeine is added to boost its effect. It is intended for occasional use rather than daily, long-term pain control, and frequent or unusual headaches should be checked by a doctor.

How Optalidon 175mg/25mg Tablet works

Propyphenazone belongs to the pyrazolone group of pain relievers. It reduces the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that make nerve endings more sensitive to pain and help drive fever. Caffeine is a mild stimulant that helps the pain reliever work faster and more effectively.

Possible side effects

Optalidon 175mg/25mg Tablet is usually well tolerated when used occasionally. Side effects that some people notice include:

• Stomach upset or nausea
• Restlessness or trouble sleeping
• Jitteriness or a fast heartbeat
• Dizziness
• Skin rash

Stop taking it and get medical help straight away if you develop a widespread rash, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or a high fever with sore throat or mouth ulcers, which can rarely signal a blood disorder.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your pharmacist if you have ever reacted to pyrazolone medicines such as metamizole (dipyrone) or phenazone.
• Cut down on tea, coffee and energy drinks while taking it, as extra caffeine can cause restlessness, palpitations and poor sleep.
• Using pain relievers for headache on many days each month can itself cause headaches, so see a doctor if you need it often.
• Speak to your doctor first if you have porphyria, heart rhythm problems, kidney or liver disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Do not take it with other products that contain the same ingredients.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
