Inaperisone is a muscle relaxant used in the treatment of muscle spasticity and other conditions involving excessive muscle tension. It is known for its ability to alleviate muscle stiffness and improve mobility in patients with various neuromuscular disorders.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Inaperisone works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle tone. It is believed to inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses in the spinal cord, thereby decreasing the excitability of motor neurons. This leads to a reduction in muscle spasm and an increase in muscle relaxation.

The absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of inaperisone are important for understanding its clinical effects.
