This article is about skeletal muscle relaxants. For information on smooth muscle relaxants, see Antispasmodic. A muscle relaxant is a drug that affects skeletal muscle function and decreases the muscle tone. It may be used to alleviate symptoms such as muscle spasms, pain, and hyperreflexia. The term muscle relaxant is used to refer to two major therapeutic groups: neuromuscular blockers and spasmolytics.
Muscle relaxants are commonly prescribed to patients along with plenty of rest and physical therapy. There are several different types of muscle relaxants but the type that completely blocks transmission of nervous signals to the muscles are called 'neuromuscular-blockers'.t's never a good idea to take muscle relaxers or any other prescription drug without knowing what the side effects are. Each muscle relaxant has its own set of possible side effects that may be experienced and some are less serious than others.
