Frequently asked questions about Flupirtine

Q. Is Lupirtin beneficial in the treatment of fibromyalgia?

Yes, Lupirtin is seen to be beneficial in the treatment of fibromyalgia in some clinical studies, however, Lupirtin is yet to get formal regulatory approval for this condition. Fibromyalgia is a disease that is characterized by musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and depression.
