Abstract

Relaxants for the skeletal muscle are prescribed by doctors for a variety of reasons. Skeletal muscle relaxants are medicines that attach to acetylcholine receptors on the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and inhibit it (ACh). The meaning of skeletal muscle relaxant, classifications, examples, and detailed information about skeletal muscle relaxants were investigated in this review article. This research also demonstrates the many forms of skeletal muscle relaxants and their usage and applications. Skeletal muscle relaxants are prescribed in the event of an emergency, such as surgery.
