Pharmacology

Carisoprodol is a GABA-A receptor indirect agonist with CNS chloride channel conductance effect. GABA receptor agonists typically produce sedative effect and may also cause other effects such as anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant. Metabolite of Carisoprodol, Meprobamate, has anxiolytic and sedative properties. Carisoprodol decreases the impulses from brain and spinal cord to the muscle. This causes the muscle to relax and hence decrease the spasm. It has no direct action on muscle itself.

Precautions

Due to sedative properties, may impair ability to perform hazardous tasks such as driving or operating machinery. Additive sedative effects when used with other CNS depressants including alcohol. Cases of Drug Dependence, Withdrawal, and Abuse. Seizures
