Multi-relax 10 mg 20 tablets

Tradename

Multi-relax

Composition

Each tablet contains:

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride 10 mg

Properties

Cyclobenzaprine relieves local skeletal muscle spasm without directly interfering with muscle function. Cyclobenzaprine has been shown to be ineffective in muscle spasms associated with central nervous system damage. In animal simulations, cyclobenzaprine reduced or abolished skeletal muscle hyperactivity. Research has shown that cyclobenzaprine does not affect neuromuscular synapses or skeletal muscle directly. These studies show that cyclobenzaprine acts primarily at the level of the brainstem, with only a secondary effect at the level of the spinal cord, although the effect on the latter may contribute to the overall relaxing effect of the drug on skeletal muscle. The effect of cyclobenzaprine is to reduce tonic somatic motor activity, affecting both gamma- (y-), and alpha- (a-) motor systems. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated the similarity of the effects of cyclobenzaprine and structurally related tricyclic antidepressants, including an antagonistic effect towards reserpine, potentiation of the action of norepinephrine, strong peripheral and central anticholinergic effects, and sedation.

Indications

Multi-Relax is indicated for the elimination of muscle spasm, accompanied by acute pain from the musculoskeletal system, as an addition to a regimen of limited physical activity and physiotherapy exercises. The improvement is manifested by the elimination of muscle spasms and associated signs and symptoms, namely pain, increased sensitivity and restriction movement.
