Tizanidine

Tizanidine is a prescription muscle relaxant used to help relieve muscle tightness and spasms. It works on the central nervous system to reduce nerve signals that cause muscles to contract too strongly.

It is commonly used for spasticity and muscle spasms related to conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. It may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or low blood pressure, so follow your prescriber’s instructions and avoid alcohol unless your clinician says it is safe.
