Paraflex - Chlorzoxazone

The mode of action of many skeletal muscle relaxants, for example carisoprodol (Soma), baclofen (Lioresal), and chlorzoxazone (Paraflex), is not clearly understood. Many of tiiese dragp do not directly relax skeletal muscles, but dieir ability to relieve acute painful musculoskeletal conditions may be due to their sedative action. Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) appears to have an effect on muscle tone, tiius reducing muscle spasm. [Pg.191]

Chlorzoxazone suppresses multisynaptic pathways in the spinal cord. It is used for relieving skeletal muscle pain. Synonyms of this drug are oxyren and paraflex. [Pg.217]

Muscle relaxants and antispasmodics methocarbamol (Robaxin), carisoprodol (Soma), chlorzoxazone (Paraflex), metaxalone (Skelaxin), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and oxybutynin (Ditropan) Do not consider the extended-release Ditropan XL Most muscle relaxants and antispasmodic drugs are poorly tolerated by elderly patients, because these cause anticholinergic adverse effects, sedation, and weakness. Additionally, their effectiveness at doses tolerated by elderly patients is questionable. High... [Pg.1389]
