NCIt definition : A carbamate with centrally acting muscle relaxant properties. Though the exact mechanism
of action of methocarbamol was not established, it's postulated to be via a mechanism
similar of carbamate, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase at synapses in the autonomic
nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and central nervous system. Methocarbamol
has no direct effect on the contractile mechanism of striated muscle, the motor end
plate or the nerve fiber.;
