Obimet SR is an oral solution for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain. It is used in adults with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. It works by reducing pain, swelling and stiffness caused by these conditions by affecting the transmission of pain signals in the brain. Obimet SR is used to treat high blood pressure. It’s also sometimes prescribed for other conditions, such as heart failure or Raynaud’s syndrome (a condition that causes fingers and toes to become numb).
Obimet SR is available in tablet form. It comes with an extended-release (ER) coating that allows the active ingredient, reserpine, to remain in your body longer than it would if you were taking it as a standard tablet. This medicine is for the treatment of angina pectoris, heart failure and hypertension.
