What is Tizanidine and how to take it
What is Tizanidine (Zanaflex)?
Muscle spasms caused by a brain or spinal cord injury or by multiple sclerosis can be treated with tizanidine, a skeletal muscle relaxant. It is a skeletal muscle relaxant available in the market under the brand names Zanaflex, Zanaflex capsule, and Comfort Pac WTizanidine. Other drugs from the same therapeutic class include Baclofen, Diazepam, Robaxin, Cyclobenzaprine, Methocarbamol, and Soma.
How does it work?
Tizanidine works by allowing the muscles to relax, which slows down the action in the brain and nervous system. Tizanidine is a skeletal muscle relaxant with a central action that affects spinal polysynaptic reflexes. It activates adrenergic alpha 2 receptors which impairs the release of excitatory amino acids, spinal interneurons, glutamate, and aspartate. Tizanidine is available as injections, tablets, capsules, and oral suspensions.
How to take Tizanidine?
It is recommended to take 2mg Tizanidine every six to eight hours. Take the tablet with a glass full of water with or without food. Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet, and do not stop taking it abruptly. It is recommended to withdraw slowly from the medication as it can cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, fast heart rate, tremors, and high blood pressure.
