Safely Buy Norflex ( Orphenadrine Citrate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Norflex is a skeletal muscle relaxant used to relieve pain and muscle spasms associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions.

Orphenadrine citrate is a monomethylated derivative of diphenhydramine that inhibits sodium channels to provide analgesic effects. Norflex also acts on various other targets including muscarinic, histaminic, and specific glutamate receptors to help relax muscles and relieve pain.
