A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents.

They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
