Drug. Onset. Skeletal muscle relaxants are divided into two categories: antispastic (for conditions such as cerebral palsy and multiple sclero-sis) and antispasmodic agents (for muscu-loskeletal Drugs that affect skeletal muscle function include two different therapeutic groups: those used during surgical procedures and in the intensive care unit (ICU) to produce muscle paralysis (ie, neuromuscular blockers), and those used to reduce spasticity in a variety of painful conditions (ie, spasmolytics and antispasmodics). SMRs can be divided into two categories: antispasmodics and antispastics (Table 1) The centrally acting muscle relaxants are a group of drugs that act in the central nervous system (CNS) to mitigate tension and spasm of skeletal muscles.
