COMPOSITION
Per tablet:
Methocarbamol ………. 500mg
Excipients: Maize starch. Povidone. Colloidal anhydrous silica. Magnesium stearate. Sodium carboxymethyl starch (Type A).
PROPERTIES
Methocarbamol is a substance which possesses an effective relaxing action upon the muscle tendon, ligament and joint complex. It acts by blocking the contracting and pain reflexes at the synapses of the spinal cord without affecting the muscle or neuromuscular junction. Due to the lack of central action it does not cause somnolence or psychic depression.
Methocarbamol acts upon the muscle contractures of nervous origin, as well as spastic paralysis, contractures in the hemiplegic, pyramidal syndrome, etc. Its administration obtains great results in muscle disorders accompanied by pain and disability. It eliminates pernicious contracting reflexes and enables a prompt functional recuperation. In the case of complicated fractures it facilitates the treatments and orthopaedic manoeuvres.
It is highly indicated in work and sports medicine in order to reduce contracture of fractures.

lumboarthrosis, lumbago, slipped disc, radicular compression, sprains, strains, torticollis, bursitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis and spastic contractures.
