Disease interactions

2 potential interactions Applies to: 2 conditions, including Seizures and Renal Dysfunction.

Renal Dysfunction

Major:

methocarbamol

Methocarbamol has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The injectable formulation of methocarbamol is contraindicated for use in patients with impaired renal function due to the nephrotoxic potential of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 300 present in the vehicle. Quantities of PEG 300 much greater than that found in recommended doses of injectable methocarbamol have increased preexisting acidosis and urea retention in patients with renal impairment.

Seizures

Moderate:

methocarbamol

Methocarbamol has a moderate potential interaction with Seizures.

Seizures have occurred during the intravenous administration of methocarbamol. In some cases, the patient had a known history of epilepsy, and the psychic trauma of the procedure may have been a contributing factor. Nevertheless, therapy with the injectable formulation of methocarbamol should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of epilepsy.
