Dantrolene is a muscle relaxant that appears to work to prevent the release of calcium. After the widespread introduction of treatment with dantrolene, the mortality of malignant hyperthermia fell from 80% in the 1960s to less than 5%. Azumolene has also been shown to be as effective as dantrolene.

Is hydrocodone a muscle relaxer?

No. Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant chemically related to tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) such as amitriptyline and imipramine. Under Federal law (American) a narcotic only refers to opioids (Heroin, morphine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, methadone) and cocaine. Under Canadian law a narcotic only refers to drugs classified as schedule I or schedule II controlled substances (opioids, cocaine, hallucinogens, ketamine, cannabinoids). Medically speaking only opioids are considered narcotics. Thus cyclobenzaprine is not a narcotic by legal and medical definitions. Cyclobenzaprine is also not a controlled substance in any respect and it it not an addictive drug nor is it a recreational drug Cyclobenzaprine is indicated as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for relief of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions
