The United States has the opportuntiy to benefit
from tolperisone,
a treatment that has provided relief for millions in parts of Europe and Asia.
Tolperisone is a medicine widely prescribed outside of the U.S. for acute muscle spasms and spasticity. In the U.S., tolperisone is being investigated as a novel, non-opioid treatment for acute and painful muscle spasms without drowsiness or impact on cognitive function. Tolperisone is predicted to have analgesic activity in addition to muscle relaxation because of its centrally-acting dual voltage gated calcium and sodium channel blocker mechanism of action.
Composition of matter and process patents have been issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) providing Orange Book listable patent protection through 2032.
