At What Intervals Should Acupan Doses Be Taken?
I have chronic lower back pain and sciatica. I have been prescribed Acupan injections. Tried one but the site of the injections was sore for days. My pharmacist says I can take them orally at the rate of 3 oral instead of one ampoule injected. I am going mad with the pain tonight and wonder how long I have to wait between doses. I am female, 70, 120kg, diabetic and have sleep apnoea. I am going for a back scan (again) next week as have almost no discs left in L3-4-5. Thank you for your advice as living here in France it is sometimes difficult to follow all the doctors say

Hi,
The usual dose of nefopam is one 30mg tablet taken 3 times a day. It is usually prescribed when painkillers are not effective. When the pain control is not satisfactory, the dose can be increased to two tablets 3 times a day but not more than that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
