Description

Caroxazone is a synthetic muscle relaxant that was originally developed in the 1950s. It is a derivative of meprobamate and is thought to work by reducing the activity of neurons in the central nervous system. Caroxazone was marketed in the United States and Europe for the treatment of muscle spasms and pain. However, it was withdrawn from the market in the 1970s due to concerns about its potential for adverse effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, and addiction. Research on caroxazone has been limited in recent years, but some studies suggest that it may have potential as an anticonvulsant or anxiolytic agent. It has also been studied for its effects on the cardiovascular system. Caroxazone is still available in some countries, but it is not widely used.'
