Descriptor fármacos neuromusculares
Entry term(s) relajantes del músculo esquelético
Scope note: Fármacos que se utilizan por sus acciones sobre el músculo esquelético. Entre ellos se encuentran los fármacos que actúan directamente sobre el músculo esquelético, los que alteran la transmisión neuromuscular (BLOQUEANTES NEUROMUSCULARES) y aquellos que actúan centralmente como relajantes del músculo esquelético (RELAJANTES MUSCULARES CENTRALES). Los fármacos que se usan en el tratamiento de los trastornos del movimiento son los ANTIDISCINÉSICOS.

Scope note: Drugs used for their actions on skeletal muscle. Included are agents that act directly on skeletal muscle, those that alter neuromuscular transmission (NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS), and drugs that act centrally as skeletal muscle relaxants (MUSCLE RELAXANTS, CENTRAL). Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders are ANTI-DYSKINESIA AGENTS.
