What is the common purpose of using skeletal muscle relaxants?

  1. Treat inflammation

  2. Decrease stomach acid

  3. Relax muscles and decrease pain

  4. Relieve depression

The correct answer is: Relax muscles and decrease pain

Skeletal muscle relaxants are commonly used for the purpose of relaxing muscles and decreasing pain. They work by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscles to contract, leading to a decrease in muscle spasm and pain. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not target the same purpose as skeletal muscle relaxants. Treatments for inflammation typically involve anti-inflammatory medications, decreasing stomach acid is usually treated with acid-reducing medications, and relieving depression typically involves antidepressants.
