Definitions

A centrally acting muscle relaxant, chemically similar to amitriptyline hydrochloride with antidepressant activity.

However, it primarily acts at the brain stem to reduce tonic somatic motor activity, influencing both gamma and alpha motor neurons. This leads to a reduction in muscle spasms.
