Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dantrolene is a peripherally-acting muscle relaxant that directly targets the muscle, reducing muscle contractions and spasms. It is often used to treat spasticity in conditions such as cerebral palsy. Diazepam and methocarbamol are centrally-acting muscle relaxants and may have more sedative and systemic side effects. Rocuronium is a neuromuscular blocking agent used for anesthesia, and would not be appropriate for treating chronic muscle spasms.
