Methcarbamol is also FDA-approved for control of the neuromuscular manifestations of tetanus. However it has largely been replaced in the treatment of tetanus by diazepam, or, in severe cases a neuromuscular blocking agent such as pancuronium. Such therapy is used as an adjunct to other measures, such as debridement, tetanus antitoxin, penicillin, tracheotomy, fluid and electrolyte replacement, and supportive treatment.

The most frequent adverse effects of methocarbamol are drowsiness, dizziness, and lightheadedness. Blurred vision, headache, fever, and nausea may occur after oral, IM, or IV administration of the drug. Anorexia has been reported after oral administration. Adynamic ileus occurred in one patient who received a total of 10 g of methocarbamol orally. Metallic taste, GI upset, nystagmus, diplopia, flushing, vertigo, mild muscular incoordination, syncope, hypotension, and bradycardia have occurred in patients receiving the drug IM or IV.

Allergic reactions such as urticaria, pruritus, rash, skin eruptions, and conjunctivitis with nasal congestion may occur in patients receiving methocarbamol. Anaphylactic reactions have occurred following IM or IV administration of the drug. Although most patients with methocarbamol-induced syncope recover with supportive treatment, epinephrine, corticosteroids, and/or antihistamines have been used to increase the rate of recovery in some of these patients.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007.
When methocarbamol is administered IV, thrombophlebitis, sloughing, and pain at the injection site may result from extravasation. IM injection of the drug may also cause local irritation. IV injection of methocarbamol may cause a small amount of hemolysis and increased hemoglobin and red blood cells in the urine. Leukopenia may occur rarely.

Methocarbamol tablets and intramuscular injections are indicated in the United States as an adjunct to rest, physical therapy, and other measures for the relief of discomforts associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. Oral methocarbamol in America may be given up to 1500mg 4 times daily for 2-3 days. In Canada, methocarbamol containing oral formulations are sold over the counter for pain associated with muscle spasm. However, if these combination formulations include codeine, they are prescription only.
FDA Label
Methacarbamol is a skeletal muscle relaxant with an unknown mechanism of action. Methacarbamol has been shown to block spinal polysynaptic reflexes, decrease nerve transmission in spinal and supraspinal polysynaptic pathways, and prolong the refractory period of muscle cells. Methocarbamol does not act as a local anesthetic upon injection. In animal studies, methocarbamol also prevents convulsions after electric shock.
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
The time to maximum concentration is 1.1 hours for both healthy patients and those on hemodialysis. The maximum plasma concentration is 21.3mg/L for healthy patients and 28.7mg/L in hemodialysis patients. The area under the curve for healthy patients is 52.5mg/L\*hr and 87.1mg/L*hr in hemodialysis patients. AUC% based on terminal elimination half life is 2% for healthy patients and 4% for hemodialysis patients. Older studies report maximum plasma concentrations in 0.5 hours.
Route of Elimination
In humans the majority of the dose is eliminated in the urine. In dogs, 88.85% of the dose is eliminated in urine and 2.14% in the feces. In rats, 84.5-92.5% of the dose is eliminated in the urine and 0-13.3% is eliminated in the feces.
Volume of Distribution
Volume of distribution data in humans is scarce. In horses, the volume of distribution is 515-942mL/kg at steady state or 724-1130mL/kg.
Clearance
0.2-0.8L/h/kg.
Methocarbamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the GI tract. Blood or serum concentrations of methocarbamol required for sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, or toxic effects are not known.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007.
Following oral administration of a single dose of methocarbamol, peak blood or serum concentrations of the drug appear to be attained in approximately 1-2 hours; the onset of action is usually within 30 minutes. Data from an unpublished study indicate that peak blood concentrations (measured as total carbamates and expressed in terms of methocarbamol) average 16.5 mcg/mL following a single 2-g oral dose, while data from a published study (using an assay relatively specific for methocarbamol) indicate that peak serum concentrations average 29.8 mcg/mL following the same dose. Data from the unpublished study also indicate that after IV administration of 1 g of methocarbamol at a rate of 300 mg/minute, blood concentrations of 19 mcg/mL are attained immediately and that the onset of action is almost immediate.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007.
In dogs, methocarbamol is widely distributed, with highest concentrations attained in the kidney and liver; lower concentrations are attained in the lungs, brain, and spleen, and low concentrations are attained in heart and skeletal muscle.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007.
The drug and/or its metabolites cross the placenta in dogs. It is not known if methocarbamol is distributed into milk in humans.

Methocarbamol is metabolized in the liver by demethylation to 3-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol-1-carbamate or hydroxylation to 3-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol-1-carbamate. Methocarbamol and its metabolites are conjugated through glucuronidation or sulfation.
Methocarbamol is extensively metabolized, presumably in the liver, by dealkylation and hydroxylation.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service. AHFS Drug Information. American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Bethesda, MD. 2007.
Based on limited data, about 10-15% of a single oral dose is excreted in urine as unchanged drug, about 40-50% as the glucuronide and sulfate conjugates of 3-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol-1-carbamate and 3-(4-hydroxy-2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,2-propanediol-1-carbamate, and the remainder as unidentified metabolites.

Permethylation and g.l.c.-mass spectrometric analysis of bile from an isolated rat liver perfusion to which methocarmol was added showed seven components not present in control bile: methocarbamol, glucuronides of methocarbamol and desmethyl-methocarbamol, and four glucuronides of hydroxylated methocarbamol metabolites. 2. An interesting rearrangement of a methyl group has been found in the mass spectrum of 3-(2-methoxyphenyloxy)-1,2-dimethoxypropane, the permethylation product from methocarbamol.

The mechanism of action of methocarbamol is thought to be dependant on its central nervous system depressant activity. This action may be mediated through blocking spinal polysynaptic reflexes, decreasing nerve transmission in spinal and supraspinal polysynaptic pathways, and prolonging the refractory period of muscle cells. Methocarbamol has been found to have no effect on contraction of muscle fibres, motor end plates, or nerve fibres.
Precise mechanism of action has not been determined. These agents act in the central nervous system (CNS) rather than directly on skeletal muscle. Several of these medications have been shown to depress polysynaptic reflexes preferentially. The muscle relaxant effects of most of these agents may be related to their CNS depressant (sedative) effects. /Skeletal Muscle Relaxants/
