Skeletal muscle relaxant combinations

What are Skeletal muscle relaxant combinations?

Skeletal muscle relaxant combinations are products, which have a muscle relaxant and drugs such as pain relief medicines, in one pill. Skeletal muscle relaxants are centrally acting agents that work by reducing the tone of skeletal muscle causing muscle to relax.

They are used to treat musculoskeletal pain and spasms.

The antispasticity agents-baclofen, tizanidine, dantrolene, and diazepam-aid in improving muscle hypertonicity and involuntary jerks. Antispasmodic agents, such as cyclobenzaprine, are primarily used to treat musculoskeletal conditions.

Some combination painkillers and muscle relaxants that can reduce muscle spasms and provide pain relief include:

Norgesic Forte (orphenadrine, aspirin, caffeine)
Soma Compound (carisoprodol, aspirin, codeine)

Healthcare providers in the United States can currently prescribe the following antispasmodic skeletal muscle relaxants: Carisoprodol (Soma®, Vanadom®).Chlorzoxazone (Lorzone®, Parafon Forte DSC®, Relax-DS®, Remular S®).Cyclobenzaprine (Fexmid®, Flexeril®).

There are several muscle relaxers, or skeletal muscle relaxants. They include cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), methocarbamol (Robaxin), and tizanidine (Zanaflex), among others. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, there is no clear evidence that one is better or stronger than another.
