Which of the following is classified as a muscle relaxant?

Soma, known generically as carisoprodol, is classified as a muscle relaxant. It works by interrupting the communication between the nerves in the central nervous system to help relieve muscle pain and discomfort. It is often prescribed in combination with rest and physical therapy for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The mechanism of action primarily involves the inhibition of polysynaptic reflexes in the spinal cord, which reduces muscle stiffness and spasms.

While Mobic (meloxicam) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily to relieve pain and inflammation, it does not act as a muscle relaxant. Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) are benzodiazepines that can have muscle relaxant properties, but they are primarily utilized for their anxiolytic, sedative, and anticonvulsant effects rather than being classified specifically as muscle relaxants like Soma.
