In the context of bone fractures, why is cyclobenzaprine administered?

  1. To promote faster bone regeneration

  2. To alleviate discomfort from muscle spasms

  3. As a primary treatment for bone fracture

  4. To improve mobility in the affected area immediately

The correct answer is: To alleviate discomfort from muscle spasms

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant commonly prescribed to alleviate discomfort from muscle spasms associated with musculoskeletal conditions, such as bone fractures. Muscle spasms can exacerbate pain and hinder the healing process of the fracture. By alleviating muscle spasms, cyclobenzaprine can help improve patient comfort and mobility during the recovery phase. This medication does not directly promote bone regeneration, serve as the primary treatment for bone fractures, or improve mobility in the affected area immediately.
