AB Drugs  that  relax  skeletal  muscle  are  divided  into  two  dissimilar  groups.  The  neuromuscular  blocking  drugs  (NM  blockers),  which  act  at  the  skeletal  neuromuscular  junction,  are  used  to  produce  muscle  paralysis  to  facilitate  surgery  or  assisted  ventilation.  The  spasmolytic  drugs,  most  of  which  act  in  the  CNS,  are  used  to  reduce  abnormally  elevated  muscle  tone  caused  by  neurologic  or  muscle  end  plate  disease.
