Patient/caregiver was educated on how to take Remular as follows: Take the medication at the same time, every day, to avoid forgetting the medication. Taking the medication at regularly spaced intervals helps to maintain appropriate blood levels of remular needed to derive the desired beneficial effects and also prevent toxicity with the medication. Maintain strict compliance with intake of the medication as ordered, with regards to dosage and frequency, to derive the benefit of the [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses of Remular as follows: Disc prolapse or rupture Individuals with history of intervertebral disc prolapse or rupture can present with increased pressure upon and inflammation of nerves running along the spinal cord. This can result in abnormally increased muscle tone, pain, spasticity, and rigidity. Remular intake could inhibit conduction of impulses along these inflamed nerves to the muscles, help relieve the tightness, relax the muscle, and contribute to relief [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon therapeutic uses of Remular as follows: Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a condition affecting the musculoskeletal system, probably secondary to altered processing of pain signals by the brain and spinal cord. Pain signals travel along the nerves to reach brain and spinal cord, where the signals are realized and processed. This helps with awareness of pain and contributes to taking necessary steps for pain control. In individuals with fibromyalgia these signals are amplified [...]

Patient/caregiver was instructed upon mechanism of action of Remular as follows: Nerve impulses travel from the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) along the nerves to the muscles. Conduction of nerve impulse to the muscle results in muscle contraction. Inhibition of nerve impulse conduction to the muscle results in relaxation of muscle. Mechanism of remular action is not exactly clear. Remular is thought to work by depressing the central nervous system. Depression of brain [...]
