Pain & Inflammation

Methocarbamol

Muscle relaxant (centrally acting)

Methocarbamol (Robaxin) is a prescription muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle spasms and pain caused by strains, sprains, or other musculoskeletal conditions. It works by depressing activity in the central nervous system, helping muscles relax. Methocarbamol is usually prescribed along with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments for short-term use. Methocarbamol is available by prescription only and should be used under a healthcare providers supervision.

Nortriptyline

Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA)

Nortriptyline is a prescription tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) used to treat depression, chronic pain, and certain anxiety-related disorders. It works by boosting norepinephrine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that regulate mood and emotional balance. Pamelor is also sometimes prescribed to help with nerve pain, migraine prevention, or sleep disturbances related to depression.

Sumatriptan

Migraine

Sumatriptan is a prescription serotonin receptor agonist (triptan) used to treat acute migraine attacks and cluster headaches. It works by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and reducing the release of inflammatory substances that trigger migraine pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. Imitrex does not prevent migraines, but is used to relieve symptoms once a migraine begins.

Tizanidine

Muscle relaxant (alpha-2 adrenergic agonist)

Tizanidine is a prescription muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasticity caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or other neurological disorders. It works by blocking nerve signals between the brain and muscles, helping reduce muscle tone, stiffness, and spasms.
