Here are some things to know when you're taking orphenadrine. Other things may be important as well, so ask your healthcare provider what you should know about.

• Swallow the tablets whole, don't crush or chew them.
• This medicine may make you drowsy. Be careful when driving or using tools until you know how this medicine affects you.
• Limit alcohol while you're taking orphendrine. Alcohol can increase the side effect of drowsiness.
• If you are taking any antihistamines or anti-nausea medicines (to stop feeling like you want to vomit) please check with your healthcare provider before taking orphenadrine.
• Let your doctor know if you have glaucoma, problems with your prostate, problems with your heart, or acid reflux.
• Orphenadrine can interact with some medicines, herbal supplements and rongoā Māori, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting orphenadrine and before starting any new products.

Like all medicines, orphenadrine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Often side effects improve as your body gets used to the new medicine.
