Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare, genetically inherited neuromuscular condition. The disease causes loss of movement and progressive muscle weakness due to muscle wasting (atrophy). The disease is divided into four subtypes (1 to 4) on the basis of the age of onset. SMA type 1 (SMA1) is the most severe form and most common genetic cause of death among infants. Various drugs are available in the market to treat the symptoms of the diseases, however, only one drug is approved for the treatment of SMA so far. Muscle relaxants such as tizanidine, baclofen, and the benzodiazepines can reduce spasticity. Excessive saliva can be treated with glycopyolate, amitriptyline, and atropine or by botulinum injections into the salivary glands. Antidepressants can be helpful in treating depression. Botulinum toxin can also be used to treat drooling or jaw spasms
