Descriptor meprobamato
Scope note: Carbamato con propiedades hipnóticas, sedantes y relajantes musculares, aunque en las dosis terapéuticas la reducción de la ansiedad más que un efecto directo puede ser responsable de la relajación muscular. Se ha descrito que el meprobamato tiene acciones anticonvulsionantes frente a las convulsiones del pequeño mal, pero no frente a las convulsiones del gran mal (que pueden estar exacerbadas). Se utiliza en el tratamiento de los TRASTORNOS DE ANSIEDAD, y también en el tratamiento a corto plazo del INSOMNIO pero ha quedado superado en gran medida por las BENZODIACEPINAS.

Scope note: 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is used in the treatment of ANXIETY DISORDERS, and also for the short-term management of INSOMNIA but has largely been superseded by the BENZODIAZEPINES.
