Methocarbamol is a central nervous system (CNS) drug used to treat muscle spasms. It is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract. It is commonly used to treat muscle spasms associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is also used to treat tetanus, a rare but serious condition caused by a bacterial toxin. Methocarbamol is available in tablet, capsule, and injectable forms. Methocarbamol is a commonly prescribed CNS drug, and is often used in combination with other drugs to treat muscle spasms. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects. Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, and headache. It is important to note that methocarbamol can interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss all medications with a healthcare provider before taking methocarbamol. Some companies that produce methocarbamol include Mylan, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Sandoz. Show Less Read more
