Other information


Indication
For the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful, musculoskeletal conditions

Pharmacology
Carisoprodol is used as a skeletal muscle relaxant. One of its metabolites, meprobamate, is available as an anxiolytic agent.

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.
