Drugs used to treat muscle spasm, rigidity, and tetanic seizures include sedative-hypnotic agents, general anesthetics, centrally acting muscle relaxants, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Antibiotics are used to prevent multiplication of Clostridium tetani, thus halting production and release of toxins.
Urgent care centers can provide a wide variety of medical services and treat a large number of non-emergent health conditions. These range from routine items such as vaccinations to diagnostics such as lab work.
Most urgent care centers are open evenings and weekends. They also see patients on a walk-in basis. And waiting time can be shorter than in an emergency room. Many urgent care centers also provide services at a lower cost.
