Frequently asked questions
Why do muscle relaxants make me sleepy?
Many act on the nervous system, which commonly causes drowsiness. Avoid driving and alcohol while taking them.
How long should I take a muscle relaxant?
Usually a short course for acute spasm alongside pain relief and gentle movement — long-term use is generally avoided.
