The muscular relaxant chlorzoxazone is well absorbed in man and is rapidly metabolized to 6-hydroxy-chlorzoxazone which is excreted in urine conjugated primarily as the glucuronide. Evidence has been presented for the metabolism of chlorzoxazone by liver enzymes in rat, rabbit, mouse and guinea pig.
