Phenyramidol is a centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxant.
It primarily reduces the excitability of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brainstem, effectively helping to relax the muscles.
It also inhibits certain pathways in the spinal cord that contribute to muscle spasms, further promoting muscle relaxation. It decreases the transmission of nerve impulses from spinal cord neurons to skeletal muscle fibres, which helps to reduce muscle stiffness and painful contractions.
Phenyramidol may also adjust the effects of central nervous system neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, GABA and glycine, contributing to its overall muscle relaxation effect.
