Category: Muscle Relaxant
Muscle relaxant medications are used to alleviate muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness caused by conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and musculoskeletal injuries. These medications work by targeting the central nervous system to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. Common muscle relaxants include baclofen, cyclobenzaprine, and methocarbamol. They may be prescribed for short-term use to manage acute muscle discomfort or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It’s important to use muscle relaxants under the guidance of a healthcare professional and to follow dosage instructions carefully to minimize the risk of side effects and dependency.
