Orphenadrine for muscle cramps in people with cirrhosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether orphenadrine (a medication used to reduce muscle cramping) can lessen muscle cramps in people who have cirrhosis of the liver. It may help if your cramps happen often, but you must avoid certain medication conflicts and health situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
