Chlormezanone

General information

Chlormezanone is a tranquillizer with central muscle relaxant effects. In reaction to some case reports of serious, sometimes fatal, cutaneous toxicity and after intervention by drug regulatory authorities in some European countries, all major manufacturers have stopped production of chlormezanone. It may still be available in combination products in some Asian countries.

For the most part chlormezanone causes only minor adverse effects, such as sedation, dizziness, nausea, and headache, which clear on stopping the drug.
