ibuprofen + methocarbamol (Sanfer)

Algitrin is a combination analgesic and muscle relaxant medication developed and marketed by Sanfer (Invekra). It typically contains ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and methocarbamol, a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. Ibuprofen exerts its effects by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate pain and inflammation. Methocarbamol acts as a muscle relaxant through general CNS depression, specifically by inhibiting polysynaptic reflexes, although its exact molecular target remains uncharacterized. The product is available in various forms, including tablets, gels, and syrups, and is primarily indicated for the relief of musculoskeletal pain, muscle spasms, and associated inflammatory conditions.
