Chlorzoxazone
A centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that depresses multisynaptic pathways in the spinal cord and brainstem to relieve spasm and associated pain from acute musculoskeletal conditions. It may cause hepatotoxicity, and rare cases of severe liver injury have been reported. It is indicated for short-term adjunctive use alongside rest and physical therapy.
