of the
spine* and related structures (canal and/or foramen stenosis, spondylolysis,

psychiatric disorders.
- Signs of neurological compression, e.g., loss of sensory or motor functions
in the legs and/or pelvis and/or radiating pain in the lower leg and/or foot.

with a yellow sticker on the box that reads (translated): This medication may
influence your reactions. Use with caution when driving a car or operating
