If pharmacologic therapy is required for acute low back pain (usually a benign and self-limiting condition ), an analgesic (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAIA) generally is recommended. Skeletal muscle relaxants may be used alone or in combination with analgesics for short-term relief; however, consider high incidence of adverse effects (e.g., CNS effects). Use skeletal muscle relaxants with caution and weigh risks against benefits.
