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.
The average urgent care visits range from $50 to $150, depending on the patientâs co-pay and level of treatment, according to Dr. Franz Ritucci, President of the American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine. Dr. Ritucci said that 70% of patients at urgent care centers use health insurance and their only cost is a co-pay. Uninsured patients face additional charges for things like x-rays, shots, lab tests or casting a broken bone. As a result, the costs for their care can be much higher.
