Were you looking for information about Methocarbamol? Methocarbinol is a common misspelling of methocarbamol.
Methocarbamol (
Robaxin®) is a muscle relaxant that is available by prescription. As a muscle relaxant, it can help relieve pain due to muscle spasms or other short-term "musculoskeletal conditions." The medicine comes in the form of a tablet or an injection, and comes in both brand-name and generic versions. The tablets are usually taken three to four times a day, depending on the dosage your healthcare provider recommends.
In clinical studies, the most common problems seen with the drug included confusion, drowsiness, and nausea. However, not everyone who takes methocarbamol will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well.
