Muscle relaxant tablet - #6825
I’ve been experiencing muscle stiffness and spasms, and my doctor suggested taking a muscle relaxant tablet. What exactly does a muscle relaxant tablet do, and how does it work in the body? From what I read, a muscle relaxant tablet helps reduce muscle tension, pain, and spasms caused by conditions like back pain, injuries, and neurological disorders. But are muscle relaxant tablets safe for long-term use, or can they cause dependency? I also learned that different muscle relaxant tablets work in different ways—some act directly on the muscles, while others affect the central nervous system. How do doctors decide which muscle relaxant tablet is best for each condition? Another thing I wonder is whether muscle relaxant tablets cause drowsiness. Can they affect daily activities like driving, or are there non-drowsy options? For those who have taken a muscle relaxant tablet, what condition was it prescribed for, and did it provide relief?
