Used primarily as a muscle relaxant, it helps manage spasticity caused by conditions like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries. It works by blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, providing relief from muscle tightness and spasms. Often prescribed alongside physical therapy, it improves mobility and reduces discomfort. It is also effective in treating chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and lower back pain. Due to its sedative effects, it is sometimes used off-label to aid sleep in patients with muscle-related insomnia. Dosage must be carefully monitored to minimize side effects such as dizziness or low blood pressure.
