Imprints of Muscle Relaxants

Many drug imprints are listed for four skeletal muscle relaxants - carisoprodol (Soma), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), metaxalone (Skelaxin) and methocarbamol (Robaxin). We will continue to add pill identification numbers for the centrally-acting muscle relaxants.

Skeletal muscle relaxants work in the central nervous system to produce their muscle relaxant effects. These drugs have no direct effect on the muscles themselves. Muscle relaxants are used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions.

In the US carisoprodol is sometimes abused, probably because it metabolizes into meprobamate, an anti-anxiety drug. As a result, some states have scheduled carisoprodol, making it harder to obtain. Carisoprodol remains unscheduled by the federal government.
All imprints have been carefully compiled and checked by Pharmer.org. The list may not contain every imprint as new imprints seem to be added daily by the manufacturers. If you have any corrections or additions, please email them to info@pharmer.org.

As always, please verify all drug identifications with your doctor or pharmacy.

The purchase of prescription drugs online from US or Canadian pharmacies, while legal, may not be without risk. The FDA has a consumer guide for buying prescription drugs online.

Our list is for your own personal use. If you do post one or more sections of the list on a public forum or other public site, we ask that you credit Pharmer.org and include a link.
