Several medications commonly prescribed for MS symptoms may help manage muscle spasms and discomfort:

• Muscle relaxants like baclofen, tizanidine (Zanaflex), and cyclobenzaprine
• Anti-seizure medications like gabapentin and pregabalin
• Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections in some cases Important note: These medications can cause side effects like drowsiness and may affect balance, which is already a concern for many people with MS.
