The purpose of this monograph is to provide an extensive
review of the drug Flupirtine clinical
applications and its safety-related issues. While
existing Non- Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
(NSAIDs) and Opioids which are used in the treatment of
pain had some common adverse effects this
drug is devoid of adverse effects exhibited by NSAIDs
and Opioids and is routinely used in clinics as
an analgesic particularly in India. Apart from its
routine clinical use recently there are growing
concerns related to this drug for its hepatotoxicity
hence it is withdrawn from the market of European
unions. Therefore, this monograph helps you to analyze
its chemical nature, applications, recent
issues related to hepatotoxicity events that are
reported with evidences in both the literature and also
databases. So that readers can gain awareness
concerning this drug and also this can pose a
challenge to the regulatory bodies in India whether
this drug can be safer to continue in the market or
any still further data can be required to prove its
safety and efficacy because of increasing concerns
related to hepatotoxic events in recent days.
