Baclofen MOA
Baclofen inhibits both monosynaptic and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level, possibly by hyperpolarization of afferent terminals, although actions at supraspinal sites may also occur and contribute to its clinical effect. Baclofen is an analogue of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), but there is no conclusive evidence that actions on GABA systems are involved in the production of its clinical effects.

Buprenorphine/naloxone MOA
Buprenorphine is a μ-opioid receptor partial agonist and a κ-opioid receptor antagonist. Naloxone is a μ-opioid receptor antagonist that causes opioid withdrawal when injected parenterally and is included in the formulation to reduce the risk of abuse.
Buprenorphine/naloxone common AE
Vasodilation, sweating, headaches, insomnia, constipation, GI distress, opioid withdrawal, dizziness
Rare but serious AE for buprenorphine/naloxone

Buspirone dose
Anxiety: Adults, 5 mg po bid-tid or 7.5 mg po bid, may titrate to 20-30 mg/d in 2-3 divided doses (max 60 mg/d)
Buspirone MOA
Buspirone is the first of a class of selective serotonin-5-HT1A receptor partial agonists. It also has some effect on dopamine-D2 auto-receptors and, like antidepressants, can downregulate β-adrenergic receptors. Unlike benzodiazepines, it lacks amnestic, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and hypnotic effects. Its exact anxiolytic mechanism of action is complex and not clearly defined.
Buspirone with linezolid, SSRIs, St. Johns wort DDI
Risk of serotonin syndrome
Buspirone common AE
Dizziness

Carisoprodol MOA
Carisoprodol blocks interneuronal activity in descending reticular formation and spinal cord, resulting in muscle relaxation.

Familial Mediterranean fever: Children 4-6 y of age, 0.3-1.8 mg po daily; Children 6-12 y, 0.9-1.8 mg po daily; Children ≥12 y of age and Adults, 1.2-2.4 mg po daily, increase or decrease dose in increments of 0.3 mg/d
Colchicine MOA
Exact mechanism unknown. In patients with gout, may interrupt the cycle of monosodium urate crystal deposition in joint tissues and the resultant inflammatory response that initiates and sustains an acute attack. Colchicine also inhibits urate crystal deposition, which is enhanced by a low pH in the tissues, probably by inhibiting oxidation of glucose and subsequent lactic acid production in leukocytes.
Colchicine contraindications
Hypersensitivity to colchicine; concurrent use with strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors in patients with renal or hepatic failure
Colchicine DDI with fibrates and statins
Coadministration of colchicine and lipid-lowering agents may result in myopathy and rhabdomyolysis; mechanism unknown

Cyclobenzaprine MOA
Cyclobenzaprine relieves skeletal muscle spasm of local origin without interfering with muscle function. It is ineffective in muscle spasm due to CNS disease. Evidence suggests that the net effect of cyclobenzaprine is a reduction in tonic motor activity, influencing both gamma (𝛾) and alpha (α) motor systems.
