Tizanidine 2mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Tizanidine 2mg is a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to reduce spasticity associated with neurological disorders. It targets excessive muscle tone rather than the underlying neurological disease.

How to use

Take consistently either with or without food using the same formulation, because food and formulation changes can alter exposure. Dose increases and discontinuation after substantial use should be gradual.

How it works

Alpha-2 adrenergic receptor activation reduces excitatory spinal signalling involved in excessive muscle tone.

Side effects

Drowsiness, dry mouth, weakness, dizziness and low blood pressure are common.

Important information

Ciprofloxacin and fluvoxamine are contraindicated combinations because they can markedly raise tizanidine exposure. Review liver function, kidney impairment and other blood-pressure-lowering or sedating medicines.
