Patient summary
Methocarbamol 500mg tablets, used for back pain and muscle spasm. A centrally acting muscle relaxant rather than one that works on the muscle.
Mechanism of action
It works centrally in the nervous system to produce muscle relaxation. The mechanism is not fully understood but involves general depressant effects, blocking pain impulses from the skeletal muscles to the brain.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Should be avoided unless clearly indicated. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Robaxin tablets contain methocarbamol 500mg, a centrally acting muscle relaxant. The brand originates from Concordia. It is taken by mouth for back pain and muscle spasm, easing the tightness and discomfort that come with a strain or similar injury.
Rather than acting on the muscle itself, methocarbamol works in the nervous system; the full mechanism is not understood, but it involves general depressant effects and blocking pain impulses travelling from skeletal muscles to the brain. Relief usually begins within 30 to 60 minutes and lasts around 4 to 6 hours. Drowsiness is common, so driving or operating machinery may not be safe. Anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to methocarbamol, or with coma, brain damage or myasthenia gravis, should not take it.
