How Maolate works

The mechanism of action of chlorphenesin is not well defined, and its effects are measured mainly by subjective responses. It is known that chlorphenesin acts in the central nervous system (CNS) rather than directly on skeletal muscle.

Toxicity

Symptoms of a chlorphenesin overdose include drowsiness and nausea.
