Muscle Relaxant Drugs Market 2019: Top Key Players- AbbVie, Sandoz, Abbott Laboratories, Pfizer, Merck & Co

Muscle relaxants are a diverse group of medicines that have the ability to relax or reduce tension in muscles. These are used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, spasm, and hyperreflexia. The two types of muscle relaxants available in the market are centrally acting muscle relaxants and direct acting muscle relaxants. Direct acting muscle relaxants are also known as neuromuscular blocking agents. These have no central nervous system activity and act by interfering with transmission of neurons at the neuromuscular junction end plate. Direct acting muscle relaxants are generally used as anesthetics during surgery and long term basis to allow controlled mechanical ventilation in patients in intensive care units. Centrally acting muscle relaxants are also known as spasmolytic agents. These act by blocking excessively stimulated neuronal pathway in the brain and spinal cord. Spasmolytic agents are useful in controlling musculoskeletal pain and spasm. Only three muscle relaxants - baclofen, dantrolene, and tizanidine - have been approved by the FDA to treat spasticity. However, six muscle relaxants - carisoprodol, chlorzoxazone cyclobenzaprine, methocarbamol, metaxalone, and orphenadrine - have been approved to treat muscle spasm. Muscle relaxants are powerful drugs; however, these can have adverse side effects such as heart failure, sedation, and paralysis. Most patients report sedation as a common adverse effect. Hence, doctors generally advise against driving or operating heavy machinery after muscle relaxant administration.

Rise in number of surgeries and increase in geriatric population are projected to drive the global muscle relaxant drugs market during the forecast period. Additionally, rise in prevalence of chronic lower back pain is anticipated to propel the global market in the near future. According to the WHO, lifetime prevalence of non-specific lower back pain is estimated at 60% to 70% in industrialized countries. However, side effects and abuse potential of drugs are likely to restrain the global muscle relaxant drugs market.

The global muscle relaxant drugs market can be segmented based on drug class, route of administration, distribution channel, and region. In terms of drug class, the global market can be categorized into peripherally acting muscle relaxants and centrally acting muscle relaxants.
