Used primarily as a muscle relaxant to treat muscle spasms associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. It is often prescribed alongside rest and physical therapy to relieve discomfort and improve mobility. Works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle tone and spasticity. Not intended for long-term use and is typically effective for short durations, usually up to two or three weeks. May also help improve sleep in patients due to its sedative properties, though it is not approved for treating insomnia. Commonly used in outpatient settings for back pain, neck pain, and related conditions involving muscle strain.
