Methocarbamol Tablets

Description

Methocarbamol Tablets are a potent skeletal muscle relaxant which has an unusually selective action on the central nervous system, specifically on the internuncial neurons of the spinal cord. This specific action results in a diminution of skeletal muscle hyperactivity without concomitant alteration in normal muscle tone. It is long-acting and essentially non-toxic, and has proved effective in a wide range of disorders involving acute muscle spasm.

• (Generic Robaxin)
• Anti-Inflammatory Oral Tab

Indications

Dogs and Cats, oral and intravenous

Indicated as an adjunct to therapy of acute inflammatory and traumatic conditions of the skeletal muscle and to reduce muscular spasms. The efficacy of both tablets and injectable in the treatment of acute skeletal muscle hyperactivity secondary to the following conditions has been demonstrated:

• Intervertebral disc syndrome, compressive myelitis, spinal cord injury where cord remains intact.
• Traumatism causing muscular and ligamentous sprains and strains.
• Myositis, fibrositis, bursitis, synovitis.
• Muscular spasm prior to or following surgical procedures.
• Miscellaneous conditions: Tablets - To maintain therapeutic benefits of the injectable form in strychnine poisoning and tetanus.

Horses, intravenous

As an adjunct to therapy of acute inflammatory and traumatic conditions of the skeletal muscle to reduce muscular spasms, and effect striated muscle relaxation. The efficacy in the treatment of acute skeletal muscle hyperactivity secondary to the following conditions has been demonstrated:

• Trauma, muscular and ligamentous sprains and strains.
• Myositis, fibrositis, bursitis and synovitis.
• Tying up syndrome.
• Muscular spasm prior to or following surgical procedures.
• Maintenance of muscle relaxation in tetanus.
