meprobamate and Clostridium tetani Infection

meprobamate has been researched along with Clostridium tetani Infection in 23 studies

Meprobamate: A carbamate with hypnotic, sedative, and some muscle relaxant properties, although in therapeutic doses reduction of anxiety rather than a direct effect may be responsible for muscle relaxation. Meprobamate has been reported to have anticonvulsant actions against petit mal seizures, but not against grand mal seizures (which may be exacerbated). It is used in the treatment of ANXIETY DISORDERS, and also for the short-term management of INSOMNIA but has largely been superseded by the BENZODIAZEPINES. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p603)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The anti-tetanus activity of a number of phenothiazine derivatives and other centrally acting muscle relaxants, such as mephenesin, dicyclopropyl ketoxime, 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole and meprobamate, has been determined in rabbits with experimental local tetanus."3.64Centrally acting muscle relaxants in tetanus. ( WEBSTER, RA, 1961)
"Further evaluation of this drug is essential with emphasis on establishment of pediatric dosage schedules and to further confirm reliability."1.24Newer concepts in the management of tetanus. ( COCK, TC, 1961)
