Summary
Botulinum toxin weakens muscle by blocking neuromuscular transmission, and a centrally acting muscle relaxant may add to generalized weakness. The clinical significance is uncertain because carisoprodol acts centrally, but excessive weakness or swallowing difficulty is a theoretical concern.
