Used primarily as a short-acting muscle relaxant to treat muscle spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or other neurological disorders. It works by blocking nerve impulses responsible for muscle tightness, thereby improving movement and reducing stiffness. Also used off-label for managing certain types of pain, particularly neuropathic pain, and occasionally as an adjunct in the treatment of insomnia due to its sedative effect. Its short duration of action makes it suitable for nighttime use or as needed for symptom flare-ups.
