Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Methocarbamol 750 mg is a drug that belongs to the class of muscle relaxant drugs.
So it is used to treat conditions associated with painful muscle spasm and contractions (muscle spasms,muscle injury,tetanus
It acts by depressing the central nervous system and causing a sedative and muscle relaxant effect.
Like every other drug ,Methocarbamol can cause various side effects.The most common ones are:
-Drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness.
-Stomach upset ,nausea,vomiting
-mild skin rash
-difficulty sleeping
-blurred vision ,double vision
Due to the sedative effect of this drug on central nervous system(CNS) ,you should avoid drinking alcohol and activities that require great alertness.Avoid other medicines that have a sedative effect on CNS.
I hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.I will be happy to help.
