Zoxazolamine (INN, USAN, BAN) (brand name Contrazole, Deflexol, Flexin, Miazol, Uri-Boi, Zoxamine, Zoxine) is a muscle relaxant that is no longer marketed.^[1]^[2] It was synthesized in 1953 and introduced clinically in 1955 but was withdrawn due to hepatotoxicity.^[1]^[2]^[3] One of its active metabolites, chlorzoxazone, was found to show less toxicity, and was subsequently marketed in place of zoxazolamine.^[3] These drugs activate IK_Ca channels.^[4]
