Treating And Managing Multiple Sclerosis

5. Muscle Relaxants

Some common complaints of people with multiple sclerosis include muscle spasms (or spasticity), muscle stiffness, and pain. MS symptoms such as these can be relieved by relaxing the muscles. This can be achieved using muscle relaxants. Some commonly used muscle relaxants are baclofen (Loresal, Kemstro, Gablofen) and tizanidine (Zanaflex). However, as with any drug, it is important to consult with your doctor first to get the proper prescription and dosage for you.
