While the term 'Chlorzoxazone MR' is not a standard designation, the drug chlorzoxazone is a well-known, centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxant used as an adjunct to therapy for acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. It was approved for use in the US in 1958 and is taken in tablet form. This article focuses on the standard, immediate-release (IR) version, as no widely available modified-release (MR) or extended-release (ER) version is commonly prescribed, and provides essential information for patients.
