1. Muscle relaxants

   Muscle relaxants are a group drugs that act as central nervous system depressants which have overall sedative and musculoskeletal relaxant properties. Examples from many different drug classes have these effects, despite their different mechanisms of action. Muscle relaxants should preferably be prescribed short-term to reduce skeletal muscle spasms, provide relief from pain, and increase mobility of the affected muscles and should where appropriate be used together with rest and physical therapy as part of an overall recovery strategy.
