Styramate
Styramate is a sedative and muscle relaxant often used in combination with other drugs for the treatment of various conditions. It is a carbamate derivative and is medically used for its analgesic and antispasmodic properties.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Styramate works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to the brain. It is a central nervous system depressant and has sedative and musculoskeletal relaxant properties.
Medical Uses[edit | edit source]
Styramate is used in combination with other drugs for the treatment of pain, tension and anxiety that are associated with certain medical conditions. It is also used as a muscle relaxant during physiotherapy and other treatments.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all medicines, Styramate can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, upset stomach, and flushing. More serious side effects may include mood changes, trouble sleeping, and trouble urinating.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
Styramate may interact with other drugs such as barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and alcohol. These interactions can increase the sedative effects of Styramate and may lead to increased risk of side effects.
