Problems

Equagesic was discontinued in the UK in 2002, possibly because of more adequate drugs available. Specifically, meprobamate is more toxic than benzodiazepines, which are also useful as a muscle relaxant.

Martial artist Bruce Lee died of cerebral oedema thought to have been a reaction to his taking of Equagesic.
