Frequently asked questions
- What does Miltown treat?
- Miltown (Meprobamate) may be used to treat anxiety disorders, headache, muscle rigidity, muscle spasticity, spasm, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.
- How much does Miltown cost?
- Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $162.29 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Lorazepam — about $1.14 on the same basis.
- Is there a coupon or discount for Miltown?
- pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Miltown. To pay less, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether a generic equivalent exists, check the manufacturer's copay/savings card and patient-assistance program, and compare a pharmacy discount card against your insurance copay. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.

What people report to the FDA about MEPROBAMATE
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 1,569 reports naming MEPROBAMATE — the active ingredient in Miltown, and the FDA flagged 95% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- drug toxicity102 reports
- respiratory arrest84 reports
- dyspnoea63 reports
- pulmonary oedema61 reports
- accidental death54 reports
- cardio-respiratory arrest54 reports
- fall54 reports
- gait disturbance45 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean MEPROBAMATE caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
