Miyorel (Methocarbamol) structural formula
Pharmacology:
The mechanism of action of Miyorel in humans has not been established, but may be due to general central nervous system (CNS) depression. It has no direct action on the contractile mechanism of striated muscle, the motor end plate or the nerve fiber.
In healthy volunteers, the plasma clearance of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) ranges between 0.20 and 0.80 L/h/kg, the mean plasma elimination half-life ranges between 1 and 2 hours, and the plasma protein binding ranges between 46% and 50%.
Miyorel (Methocarbamol) is metabolized via dealkylation and hydroxylation. Conjugation of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) also is likely. Essentially all Miyorel (Methocarbamol) metabolites are eliminated in the urine. Small amounts of unchanged Miyorel (Methocarbamol) also are excreted in the urine.
The mean elimination half-life of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) in elderly healthy volunteers (mean (± SD) age, 69 (± 4) years) was slightly prolonged compared to a younger (mean (± SD) age, 53.3 (± 8.8) years), healthy population (1.5 (±0.4) hours versus 1.1 (±0.27) hours, respectively). The fraction of bound Miyorel (Methocarbamol) was slightly decreased in the elderly versus younger volunteers (41 to 43% versus 46 to 50%, respectively).
The clearance of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) in 8 renally-impaired patients on maintenance hemodialysis was reduced about 40% compared to 17 normal subjects, although the mean (±SD) elimination half-life in these two groups was similar: 1.2 (±0.6) versus 1.1 (±0.3) hours, respectively.
In 8 patients with cirrhosis secondary to alcohol abuse, the mean total clearance of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) was reduced approximately 70% compared to that obtained in 8 age- and weight-matched normal subjects. The mean (±SD) elimination half-life in the cirrhotic patients and the normal subjects was 3.38 (±1.62) hours and 1.11 (±0.27) hours, respectively. The percent of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) bound to plasma proteins was decreased to approximately 40 to 45% compared to 46 to 50% in the normal subjects.
Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets are indicated as an adjunct to rest, physical therapy, and other measures for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. The mode of action of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) has not been clearly identified, but may be related to its sedative properties. Miyorel (Methocarbamol) does not directly relax tense skeletal muscles in man.
Methocarbamol Tablets are contraindicated in patients hypersensitive to Miyorel (Methocarbamol) or to any of the tablet components.
Since Miyorel may possess a general CNS depressant effect, patients receiving Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets should be cautioned about combined effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants.
Safe use of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets has not been established with regard to possible adverse effects upon fetal development. There have been reports of fetal and congenital abnormalities following in utero exposure to Miyorel (Methocarbamol). Therefore, Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets should not be used in women who are or may become pregnant and particularly during early pregnancy unless in the judgment of the physician the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards (see PRECAUTIONS : Pregnancy ).
Miyorel (Methocarbamol) may impair mental and/or physical abilities required for performance of hazardous tasks, such as operating machinery or driving a motor vehicle. Patients should be cautioned about operating machinery, including automobiles, until they are reasonably certain that Miyorel (Methocarbamol) therapy does not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities.
Patients should be cautioned that Miyorel may cause drowsiness or dizziness, which may impair their ability to operate motor vehicles or machinery.
Because Miyorel (Methocarbamol) may possess a general CNS-depressant effect, patients should be cautioned about combined effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants.
See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS for interaction with CNS drugs and alcohol.
Miyorel (Methocarbamol) may inhibit the effect of pyridostigmine bromide. Therefore, Miyorel (Methocarbamol) should be used with caution in patients with myasthenia gravis receiving anticholinesterase agents.
Miyorel may cause a color interference in certain screening tests for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) using nitrosonaphthol reagent and in screening tests for urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) using the Gitlow method.
Long-term studies to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) have not been performed. No studies have been conducted to assess the effect of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) on mutagenesis or its potential to impair fertility.
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Miyorel. It is also not known whether Miyorel (Methocarbamol) can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Methocarbamol Tablets should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Safe use of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets has not been established with regard to possible adverse effects upon fetal development. There have been reports of fetal and congential abnormalities following in utero exposure to Miyorel (Methocarbamol). Therefore, Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets should not be used in women who are or may become pregnant and particularly during early pregnancy unless in the judgment of the physician the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards (see WARNINGS ).
Miyorel (Methocarbamol) and/or its metabolites are excreted in the milk of dogs; however, it is not known whether Miyorel (Methocarbamol) or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets are administered to a nursing woman.
Safety and effectiveness of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) Tablets in pediatric patients below the age of 16 have not been established.
Adverse reactions reported coincident with the administration of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) include:
Body as a Whole : Anaphylactic reaction, angioneurotic edema, fever, headache
Car d iovascular System : Bradycardia, flushing, hypotension, syncope, thrombophlebitis
Digestive System : Dyspepsia, jaundice (including cholestatic jaundice), nausea and vomiting

Limited information is available on the acute toxicity of Miyorel. Overdose of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) is frequently in conjunction with alcohol or other CNS depressants and includes the following symptoms: nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, hypotension, seizures, and coma.
In post-marketing experience, deaths have been reported with an overdose of Miyorel (Methocarbamol) alone or in the presence of other CNS depressants, alcohol or psychotropic drugs.
Management of overdose includes symptomatic and supportive treatment. Supportive measures include maintenance of an adequate airway, monitoring urinary output and vital signs, and administration of intravenous fluids if necessary. The usefulness of hemodialysis in managing overdose is unknown.

Revised March 2011
Depending on the reaction of the Miyorel after taken, if you are feeling dizziness, drowsiness or any weakness as a reaction on your body, Then consider Miyorel not safe to drive or operate heavy machine after consumption. Meaning that, do not drive or operate heavy duty machines after taking the capsule if the capsule has a strange reaction on your body like dizziness, drowsiness. As prescribed by a pharmacist, it is dangerous to take alcohol while taking medicines as it exposed patients to drowsiness and health risk. Please take note of such effect most especially when taking Primosa capsule. It's advisable to consult your doctor on time for a proper recommendation and medical consultations.
Is Miyorel addictive or habit forming?Medicines are not designed with the mind of creating an addiction or abuse on the health of the users. Addictive Medicine is categorically called Controlled substances by the government. For instance, Schedule H or X in India and schedule II-V in the US are controlled substances.
Please consult the medicine instruction manual on how to use and ensure it is not a controlled substance.In conclusion, self medication is a killer to your health. Consult your doctor for a proper prescription, recommendation, and guidiance.
