Aspirin/meprobamate

Aspirin/meprobamate (trade name Equagesic /ˌɛkwəˈzɪk/) is a combination drug indicated for short-term pain treatment accompanied by tension or anxiety in patients with musculoskeletal disorders or tension headache.

There also appears to be a combination with ethoheptazine, an opioid analgesic.

Equagesic was discontinued in the United States, because of its possible toxic effects, specifically of meprobamate.[medical citation needed] It was credited with the sudden death of actor Bruce Lee in 1973. Lee suffered a fatal hypersensitive reaction to one of the prescription drug's ingredients while working in Hong Kong.
