<p>Patients should be cautioned that methocarbamol may cause drowsiness or dizziness, which may impair their ability to operate motor vehicles or machinery. Because methocarbamol may possess a general CNS-depressant effect, patients should be cautioned about combined effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants.<br />

Since methocarbamol may possess a general CNS depressant effect, patients receiving methocarbamol&nbsp;should be cautioned about combined effects with alcohol and other CNS depressants. Safe use of methocarbamol&nbsp;has not been established with regard to possible adverse effects upon fetal development. There have been reports of fetal and congenital abnormalities following in utero exposure to methocarbamol. Therefore, methocarbamol&nbsp;should not be used in women who are or may become pregnant and particularly during early pregnancy unless in the judgment of the physician the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards.</p>
