This medication is used to improve muscle tone associated with cervical spondylosis and lower back pain. It also helps relieve symptoms of spastic paralysis caused by various central nervous system disorders, including cerebrovascular disorders, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis. This medication contributes to the recovery of motor function in patients by improving muscle rigidity resulting from spinal cord injury, head trauma, and postoperative complications of brain and spinal cord tumors. With these effects, it helps alleviate muscle tension and improve the quality of daily life for patients.
