I had a friend that overdosed on muscle relaxers. I didn't know that was possible. What shut down from overdosing on muscle relaxers?

Treatment of muscle relaxant overdose consists of symptomatic and supportive care. Vomiting should be induced if the exposure is recent and no clinical signs are present, respiratory support (ie, ventilator) should be provided if needed.

Because muscle relaxers and alcohol depress the body in similar ways, their use can lead to slowed or shallow breathing that can lead to brain damage or death. An overdose is a medical emergency, so contact medical help immediately if one is suspected. Let's discuss your concern in detail so that we can provide with the best medical plan.
