Used primarily as a muscle relaxant to treat muscle spasms, pain, and discomfort associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions. It is often prescribed alongside rest and physical therapy for short-term relief. Works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle tension. Not intended for long-term use and is not recommended for conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal cord injury. Also sometimes used off-label to help manage symptoms of fibromyalgia due to its effects on sleep and pain modulation.
