About This Item

Methocarbamol 500 mg tablets are prescription muscle relaxants used in dogs and cats to alleviate muscle spasms and tremors associated with conditions like intervertebral disc disease, trauma, or toxin exposure. By acting on the central nervous system, methocarbamol reduces abnormal muscle contractions without affecting overall muscle tone. Administered orally, it provides effective relief under veterinary supervision.

Methocarbamol 500 mg tablets are centrally acting muscle relaxants prescribed for dogs and cats to manage acute muscle spasms resulting from conditions such as intervertebral disc disease, traumatic injuries, or toxic exposures like strychnine or permethrin poisoning. The medication works by depressing nerve impulses in the spinal cord, thereby reducing involuntary muscle activity without compromising normal muscle function.

The typical dosage for dogs and cats is 20–30 mg per pound of body weight every 8–12 hours on the first day, followed by 10–30 mg per pound every 8–12 hours thereafter. The exact dosage and duration depend on the severity of the condition and the animal's response to treatment. Methocarbamol can be administered with or without food; however, if gastrointestinal upset occurs, giving it with food may help.

Common side effects include sedation, drooling, vomiting, and loss of coordination. Use with caution in animals with kidney impairment or those that are pregnant. Always consult your veterinarian before starting or adjusting this medication to ensure it's appropriate for your pet's specific needs.
