Muscle Relaxants Medication
Drugs
Millions of Americans suffer from muscle related problems. With
today's modern treatments, there is no reason to suffer anymore. If
muscle pain is getting you down, muscle Relaxers may be for you.
Muscle Relaxers are not really a class of drugs, but rather a group
of different drugs that each has an overall sedative effect on the
body. These drugs do not act directly on the muscles, rather they
act centrally (in the brain) and are more of a total body relaxant.
Typically, Muscle Relaxants are prescribed early in a course of
back pain, on a short-term basis, to relieve low back pain
associated with muscle spasms. There are several types of muscle
relaxant medications that are commonly used to treat low back pain
Muscle
Relaxants Information
Are drugs that relax striated
muscles (those that control the skeleton). They are a separate
class of drugs from the muscle relaxant drugs used during
intubations and surgery to reduce the need for anesthesia and
facilitate intubation.
Muscle Relaxers
Prescription Purpose
Muscle Relaxers may be used for
relief of spasticity in neuromuscular diseases, such as multiple
sclerosis, as well as for spinal cord injury and stroke. They may
also be used for pain relief in minor strain injuries and control
of the muscle symptoms of tetanus. Dantrolene (Dantrium) has been
used to prevent or treat malignant hyperthermia in surgery.

Relaxers Prescription Drugs
Although the Muscle Relaxants may
be divided into only two groups, centrally acting and
peripherally acting, the centrally acting group, which appears to
act on the central nervous system, contains 10 drugs which are
chemically different, while only dantrolene has a direct action
at the level of the nerve-muscle connection.
Carisoprodol (Soma), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), metaxalone
(Skelaxin) are used primarily as an adjunct for rest in
management of acute muscle spasms associated with sprains. Muscle
relaxation may also be an adjunct to physical therapy in
rehabilitation following stroke, spinal cord injury, or other
musculoskeletal conditions.
