Look at this drug

impressive uh ?

If all of this is true, it seems to be quite an impressive drug that I would be very interested in post-op as other muscle relaxants have had little to no effect on me. However, if I read that correctly, it only works 1-2 hours? That is a big downside. Unless what they meant was that it takes 1-2 hours to kick in? If so, people like us could wait for it to kick in and take it regularly. I will be asking about this drug if further research looks this good! Thanks for sharing!

That is very interesting. I have cervical spondylosis as well as NTOS and wonder why my cervical spine doctor never recommended this. Looks promising for you! :)

Not available in USA.

There are reports of sudden allergic reactions:

This drug has significant liver side effects, and also is a prolonging agent for QT in the heart.

It appears on DrugCite even though it is not showing approved by FDA on other searches.

Since there are few of these reports, it must be from people stationed in other countries.
