Meprobamate

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Meprobamate but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Meprobamate
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Carisoprodol is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant. One of its metabolites, meprobamate, is available as an anxiolytic agent. For the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful, musculoskeletal conditions

Mechanism Of Action:
Rather than acting directly on skeletal muscle, carisoprodol interrupts neuronal communication within the reticular formation and spinal cord, resulting in sedation and alteration in pain perception.
