zanaflex

Zanaflex (tizanidine) is a muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasms caused by conditions like multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries. It works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscles to tighten, providing relief from muscle stiffness and improving mobility.

Zanaflex is typically used for short-term treatment of muscle spasms, with common side effects including drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. It is important to avoid abrupt discontinuation of the drug, as this may lead to rebound hypertension or increased muscle spasms.
