Indications

Methocarbamol is an effective muscle relaxant that is used in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other measures to provide relief from muscle pain and discomfort caused by various injuries such as strains, sprains, and other muscle injuries.

This medication is classified as a central nervous system depressant and works by slowing down nerve impulses, which results in the relaxation of muscles.

The proper dosage is determined based on the severity of your condition and your individual response to treatment.
