Muscle Relaxants FAQs

Muscle relaxant injections, such as botulinum toxin (Botox), are treatments that temporarily paralyse targeted muscles to reduce muscle spasms or diminish the appearance of wrinkles.

These injections block nerve signals to specific muscles, preventing them from contracting, which leads to muscle relaxation and a reduction in associated symptoms or wrinkles.

Common side effects may include temporary pain or discomfort at the injection site, bruising, and, in rare cases, unintended muscle weakness.

They are used to manage various conditions, including muscle spasticity, chronic muscle spasms, and cosmetic concerns like facial wrinkles.

The effects typically last between three to four months, after which repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired outcome.
