Tizanidine is a short-acting drug for the management of spasticity. Tizanidine is an agonist at a2-adrenergic receptor sites and presumably reduces spasticity by increasing presynaptic inhibition of motor neurons. In animal models, tizanidine has no ...

Conditions:
Cisatracurium is a cis-cis isomer of atracurium and five time as potent as atracurium. The drug is approved by FDA and marketed under the name Nimbex. It is indicated as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate tracheal intubation, and to prov...

Conditions:
Vecuronium is a neuromuscular blocking agent. Vecuronium operates by competing for the cholinoceptors at the motor end plate thereby exerting its muscle-relaxing properties which are used adjunctively to general anesthesia. Vecuronium is a bisquatern...

Conditions:
Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally-acting muscle relaxant which boosts levels of norepinephrine and binds to serotonin receptors in the brain to reduce spasm. Cytochromes P-450 3A4, 1A2, and, to a lesser extent, 2D6, mediate N-demethylation, one of the o...

CHEMICAL (RACEMIC)
Targets:
Conditions:
A centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant whose mechanism of action is not completely understood but may be related to its sedative actions. Carisoprodol is indicated for the relief of discomfort associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal condi...

CHEMICAL (ACHIRAL)
Conditions:
Chlorzoxazone is a centrally acting central muscle relaxant with sedative properties. It is claimed to inhibit muscle spasm by exerting an effect primarily at the level of the spinal cord and subcortical areas of the brain where it inhibits multisyna...
