Phenprobamate (Gamaquil Isotonil) is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant with additional sedative and anticonvulsant effects. Overdose is similar to barbiturates. Its mechanism of action is probably similar to meprobamate. Phenprobamate was previously used in humans as an anxiolytic and is still sometimes used in general anesthesia and for treating muscle cramps and spasticity. Phenprobamate is still used in some European countries but it has generally been replaced by newer drugs.
