Overdose of meprobamate: plasma concentration and Glasgow Coma Scale

摘要

Meprobamate is a carbamate, main active metabolite of carisoprodol [1], used as an anxiolytic agent and prescribed in Europe and the USA. Carisoprodol is a prescribed centrally active muscle relaxant analgesic. Carisoprodol is extensively converted to meprobamate. Meprobamate plasmatic levels exceed those of carisoprodol 2.5 h after oral administration of 700 mg of carisoprodol to healthy volunteers [21.
