Dorflex is not available in the US

Why it isn't sold here

Contains dipyrone (metamizole), removed from the US market in 1977 and never FDA-approved (agranulocytosis risk); this fixed combination has no US counterpart. Orphenadrine alone is available in the US (Norflex, Rx) but not in this product.

Bringing it into the US

The FDA generally does not allow importing unapproved medicines. Personal importation is only a limited enforcement discretion — typically up to a 90-day supply for a serious condition with no US treatment, and controlled substances are effectively barred. Do not buy from gray-market pharmacies.
