Methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant used in domestic animals to alleviate muscle inflammation or trauma and manage tremors caused by poisoning. It is contraindicated in animals with kidney problems, unless advised otherwise by a veterinarian. Common side effects include sedation, excessive salivation, vomiting, weakness, and an unsteady gait. Methocarbamol can interact with other medications, potentially affecting their efficacy.
