Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking norflex as follows:
- Norflex could potentially interact with a lot of other medications and precipitate serious reactions. If you are being newly started on norflex, discuss with your physician regarding all your current medications and their safety with norflex. Also, notify your physician regarding any current norflex intake, if you are being started on any new medications and discuss their safety with norflex.
- Your physician could change the dose of norflex, based on the response you show, relief obtained, and side-effects presented with. So, maintain compliance with follow-up physician appointments and be accommodative to the plan of dose changes, until you show an optimum response.
- Notify your doctor of any unresolving muscle spasms, progressively worsening muscle pain and discomfort, compromised range of motion in the involved muscle groups, and any continuing or worsening unpleasant side-effects, so that, your dosage on the medication could be revised.
- If you miss a dose, try taking it at the earliest notice of noncompliance. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the dose scheduled. Do not take an extra dose to try making up for the missed dose, which can result in toxicity. Notify your doctor and other health care personnel regarding your dose noncompliance.
