Medication (Vet): ... /Used occasionally/ as sedative with little or no tranquilization in many species.
Rossoff, I.S. Handbook of Veterinary Drugs. New York: Springer Publishing Company, 1974., p. 337
Meprobamate has been used preoperatively to relieve anxiety and provide sedation. Meprobamate is effective in promoting sleep in the anxious, tense patient. There is no convincing evidence that meprobamate has any advantage over other sedatives, including barbiturates, in relieving anxiety and tension. /Included in US product label/
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
Meprobamate in fixed combination with aspirin is used as an adjunct in the short-term (<10 days) treatment of pain accompanied by tension and/or anxiety in patients with musculoskeletal disease. The combination has been shown to be more effective than aspirin alone. /Included in US product label/
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
Meprobamate is used for the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety or tension associated with the stress of everyday life usually does not require treatment with an anxiolytic. The efficacy of meprobamate for long-term use (i.e., longer than 4 months) has not been evaluated; the need for continued therapy should be reassessed periodically. Meprobamate may be useful as an adjunct when anxiety complicates psychosis or the treatment of alcohol dependence. However, the additive CNS depressant effects of meprobamate and alcohol should be considered. /Included in US product label/
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
Meprobamate frequently produces drowsiness. Other effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, paresthesia, weakness, and CNS effects such as headache, paradoxical excitement, dizziness, ataxia, and disturbances of vision. There may be hypotensin, tachycardia, and cardiac dysrhythmias. Hypersensitivity reactions occur occasionally. These may be limited to skin rashes, urticaria, and purpura or may be more severe with angioedema, bronchospasm, or anuria. Erythema multiforme or Stevens-Johnson syndrome and exfoliative or bullous dermatitis have been reported. Blood disorders, including agranulocytosis, eosinophilia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and aplastic anemia, have occasionally been reported.
Dart, R.C. (ed). Medical Toxicology. Third Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Philadelphia, PA. 2004., p. 893-4
Clinical studies of meprobamate (with or without aspirin) did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether geriatric patients respond differently than younger patients. While other clinical experience has not revealed age-related differences in response, drug dosage generally should be titrated carefully in geriatric patients, usually initiating therapy at the low end of the dosage range. The greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, and/or cardiac function and of concomitant disease and drug therapy observed in the elderly also should be considered.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
When meprobamate is used in fixed combination with aspirin, the usual cautions, precautions, and contraindications associated with aspirin must be considered in addition to those associated with meprobamate.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
Several studies have suggested and increased risk of congenital malformations associated with the use of anxiolytics (meprobamate, chlordiazepoxide, diazepam) during the first trimester of pregnancy. Since the use of anxiolytics is rarely urgent, their use during the first trimester should almost always be avoided. The possiblity that a woman of childbearing potential may be pregnant at the time therapy is initiated should be considered. Patients should be advised that if they become pregnant or intend to become pregnant during therapy, they should communicate with their physician about the desirability of discontinuing the drug.

For the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety.
Meprobamate is an anxiolytic drug. It was the best selling minor tranquilizer for a time but has largely been replaced by benzodiazepines. Meprobamate has most of the pharmacological effects and dangers of the barbiturates (though it was marketed as being safer) but it is less sedating at effective doses. Meprobamate exhibits some anticonvulsant effects in absence seizures; however, it is reported to potentially exacerbate generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It has also been used as a hypnotic (sleeping pill). However, its is currently only licensed as an anxiolytic and it is a third or fourth-order choice.
Hypnotics and Sedatives
Drugs used to induce drowsiness or sleep or to reduce psychological excitement or anxiety. (See all compounds classified as Hypnotics and Sedatives.)
Anti-Anxiety Agents
Agents that alleviate ANXIETY, tension, and ANXIETY DISORDERS, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions. ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS are commonly used in the symptomatic treatment of anxiety but are not included here. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Anxiety Agents.)
Anticonvulsants
Drugs used to prevent SEIZURES or reduce their severity. (See all compounds classified as Anticonvulsants.)
Muscle Relaxants, Central
A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p358) (See all compounds classified as Muscle Relaxants, Central.)

Absorption
Well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The concentrations of meprobamate in the blood and liver were determined in 12 cases of death due to meprobamate poisoning and in 29 cases of death due to the combined effects of meprobamate and alcohol, meprobamate and barbiturate, or meprobamate, alcohol and barbiturate. In the cases of poisoning from meprobamate alone, the blood meprobamate concentrations were within the range of 142-342 ug/mL. (mean value, 226 ug./mL). In the cases of poisoning with a combination of the drugs, the blood meprobamate concentrations were: for meprobamate and alcohol, 43-155 ug/mL (mean value, 117 ug/mL); for meprobamate and barbiturate, 30-276 ug/mL (mean value, 117 ug/mL); for meprobamate, barbiturate and alcohol, 33-460 ug/mL (mean value, 133 ug/mL).
Felby S; Acta Pharmacol. Toxicol 28 (5): 334-7 (1970)
Profound meprobamate intoxication is associated with plasma levels of 20 mg/100mL. Most pt appear to be comatose at levels about 10 mg/100 mL, whereas consciousness occurs at levels below 5 mg/100 mL.
Gosselin, R.E., R.P. Smith, H.C. Hodge. Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products. 5th ed. Baltimore: Williams and Wilkins, 1984., p. III-260
The effect of hemoperfusion based on pharmacokinetic parameters in 4 cases of severe meprobamate intoxication is described. Maximal plasma levels reached 800, 816, 963 and 923 umol/L. All patients survived without sequelae including one patient resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The amount of meprobamate removed by hemoperfusion ranged from 1.6-6.2 g. Results suggest that hemoperfusion may be indicated in severe meprobamate intoxication.
PMID:3669117 Jacobsen D et al; J Toxicol Clin Toxicol 25 (4): 317-31 (1987)
Meprobamate is well absorbed from the GI tract following oral administration. Plasma concentrations of meprobamate required for sedative or hypnotic effects are not known. Oral administration of 400 mg of meprobamate produces peak plasma concentrations of 5-39 ug/mL within 1-3 hr. Plasma concentrations of 30-100 ug/mL are usually reached following mild overdosage and are associated with stupor or light coma. Plasma concentrations of 100-200 ug/mL are associated with deep coma and are potentially lethal; fatalities frequently occur when plasma concentrations exceed 200 ug/mL. The onset of sedative action is usually less than 1 hour following oral administration of meprobamate.

Meprobamate undergoes hepatic metabolism.
Meprobamate is rapidly metabolized in the liver. Meprobamate can induce liver microsomal enzymes and thus may at least theoretically alter the metabolism of other drugs such as warfarin. There is some evidence that meprobamate may accelerate its own metabolism. Meprobamate metabolites are inactive and include 2B-hydroxymeprobamate, and glucosyluronide and glucuronide conjugates of meprobamate. These metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. About 10-12% of a dose of meprobamate is excreted in urine as unchanged drug within 24 hr. The remainder is excreted in urine as metabolites.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009)
Most of the drug is metabolized in the liver, mainly to a side-chain hydroxy derivative and a glucuronide; the kinetics of elimination may depend on the dose.
Hardman, J.G., L.E. Limbird, P.B., A.G. Gilman. Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 11th ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2006., p. 422
A whole-body exposure of rats to 8 Gy radiation is ineffective in 3 days, and in 6 days, it prolongs considerably the effect and increases the pharmacological activity of hexenal, meprobamate, ethylmorphine, and amidopyrine, inhibits the activity of amidopyrine demethylase, aniline hydroxylase, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and reduces the content of protein, cytochromes P-450 and b5 in a microsomal liver fraction.
PMID:2780982 Khakimov ZZ; Radiobiologiia 29 (4): 492-4 (1989)
Carisoprodol is metabolized to meprobamate by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2C19, encoded by the polymorphic CYP2C19 gene. Most studies on carisoprodol metabolism have been carried out on individuals phenotyped for CYP2C19 activity using the probe drug S-mephenytoin. /The investigators/ aimed to investigate whether the ratio of carisoprodol to meprobamate in a 'real life' setting could be predicted by CYP2C19 genotype or, more specifically, if high carisoprodol : meprobamate ratios in drugged drivers could be ascribed to the presence of mutant CYP2C19 alleles. From original material comprising 358 blood samples from apprehended drivers, two polarized groups were selected; a high-ratio group of 11 subjects where the carisoprodol : meprobamate ratio was >1 and a low-ratio control group of 23 subjects where the ratio was <0.31. Genotyping was carried out for the CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3 and CYP2C19*4 alleles. DNA samples from 94 healthy blood donors were used as reference material. The number of mutant alleles in the high-ratio and low-ratio groups was significantly higher and lower, respectively, than in the reference material. The increased number of mutant alleles in the high-ratio group was not due to the presence of many poor metabolizers, but to a high number of heterozygous individuals with the genotype CYP2C19*1/*2. This result indicates a gene dosage effect where the carisoprodol : meprobamate ratio reflects the number of active CYP2C19 alleles. The metabolism of carisoprodol to meprobamate is dependent on CYP2C19 genotype. Heterozygous individuals with the CYP2C19*1/*2 genotype have a reduced capacity for metabolizing carisoprodol, and should probably be regarded as intermediate metabolizers of this drug. /Carisoprodol/

Meprobamate's mechanism of action is not fully understood; in animal studies, meprobamate is reported to act at multiple sites in the central nervous system, such as the thalamus and limbic system. It binds to the GABAA receptors, leading to inhibitory effects on the neurons transmitting signals in the reticular formation and spinal cord. Consequently, effects such as sedation and altered perception of pain are observed.
Meprobamate has CNS depressant actions similar to those of the barbiturates. The mechanism of action of meprobamate is not known. The drug apparently acts at multiple sites in the CNS including the hypothalamus, thalamus, limbic system, and spinal cord, but not the medulla, the reticular activating system, or in the autonomic nervous system. Although there is some evidence that meprobamate relaxes skeletal muscle tension, the skeletal muscle relaxant effects of the drug are probably caused by its sedative effect.

The potentiation of the release of adenosine by meprobamate may account for its central effects.

In animals, meprobamate antagonizes the convulsant effects of pentylenetetrazol, but meprobamate is of no clinical use for the management of epilepsy; in fact, the drug may aggravate generalized tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures. Usual sedative doses of meprobamate have little or no effect on the EEG, but 800-mg doses produce increased fast activity, increased amplitude, and prominent beta waves. Like barbiturates, hypnotic doses of meprobamate substantially suppress rapid eye movement (REM) or dreaming stage of sleep. REM rebound has been reported to occur when the drug was withdrawn and thus could cause the patient to experience markedly increased dreaming, nightmares, and/or insomnia.

ABOUT THIS PAGE
A Meprobamate manufacturer is defined as any person or entity involved in the manufacture, preparation, processing, compounding or propagation of Meprobamate, including repackagers and relabelers. The FDA regulates Meprobamate manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with relevant laws and regulations and are safe and effective to use. Meprobamate API Manufacturers are required to adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure that their products are consistently manufactured to meet established quality criteria.

A Meprobamate DMF (Drug Master File) is a document detailing the whole manufacturing process of Meprobamate active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in detail. Different forms of Meprobamate DMFs exist exist since differing nations have different regulations, such as Meprobamate USDMF, ASMF (EDMF), JDMF, CDMF, etc.
A Meprobamate DMF submitted to regulatory agencies in the US is known as a USDMF. Meprobamate USDMF includes data on Meprobamate's chemical properties, information on the facilities and procedures used, and details about packaging and storage. The Meprobamate USDMF is kept confidential to protect the manufacturer’s intellectual property.

A Meprobamate CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Meprobamate Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Meprobamate CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Meprobamate EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Meprobamate to their clients by showing that a Meprobamate CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Meprobamate CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Meprobamate CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Meprobamate CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Meprobamate DMF.
A Meprobamate CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Meprobamate CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.

A Meprobamate written confirmation (Meprobamate WC) is an official document issued by a regulatory agency to a Meprobamate manufacturer, verifying that the manufacturing facility of a Meprobamate active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) adheres to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations of the importing country. When exporting Meprobamate APIs or Meprobamate finished pharmaceutical products to another nation, regulatory agencies frequently require a Meprobamate WC (written confirmation) as part of the regulatory process.

National Drug Code is a comprehensive database maintained by the FDA that contains information on all drugs marketed in the US. This directory includes information about finished drug products, unfinished drug products, and compounded drug products, including those containing Meprobamate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
The FDA updates the NDC directory daily. The NDC numbers for Meprobamate API and other APIs are published in this directory by the FDA.
The NDC unfinished drugs database includes product listing information submitted for all unfinished drugs, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), drugs intended for further processing and bulk drug substances for compounding.
Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Meprobamate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) must furnish the FDA with an updated record of all drugs that they produce, prepare, propagate, compound, or process for commercial distribution in the US at their facilities.
The NDC directory also contains data on finished compounded human drug products that contain Meprobamate and are produced by outsourcing facilities. While these outsourcing facilities are not mandated to assign a Meprobamate NDC to their finished compounded human drug products, they may choose to do so.

Meprobamate Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is produced in GMP-certified manufacturing facility.
GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices, which is a system used in the pharmaceutical industry to make sure that goods are regularly produced and monitored in accordance with quality standards. The FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements are referred to as cGMP or current GMP which indicates that the company follows the most recent GMP specifications. The World Health Organization (WHO) has its own set of GMP guidelines, called the WHO GMP. Different countries can also set their own guidelines for GMP like China (Chinese GMP) or the EU (EU GMP).
PharmaCompass offers a list of Meprobamate GMP manufacturers, exporters & distributors, which can be sorted by USDMF, JDMF, KDMF, CEP (COS), WC, API price, and more, enabling you to easily find the right Meprobamate GMP manufacturer or Meprobamate GMP API supplier for your needs.
A Meprobamate CoA (Certificate of Analysis) is a formal document that attests to Meprobamate's compliance with Meprobamate specifications and serves as a tool for batch-level quality control.
Meprobamate CoA mostly includes findings from lab analyses of a specific batch. For each Meprobamate CoA document that a company creates, the USFDA specifies specific requirements, such as supplier information, material identification, transportation data, evidence of conformity and signature data.
Meprobamate may be tested according to a variety of international standards, such as European Pharmacopoeia (Meprobamate EP), Meprobamate JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) and the US Pharmacopoeia (Meprobamate USP).
