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.
Spasmolytics are the most commonly prescribed types of muscle relaxers. Muscle relaxers are usually used to treat pain. Blurred vision is among the side effects of muscle relaxers. Muscle relaxers may have side effects, such as blurred vision and dizziness.
