Description
Tizan 2 mg or Zanaflex treats reversible spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord lesions. It has the active ingredient Tizanidine, which belongs to the group of drugs known as skeletal muscle relaxants, which helps to relieve muscle restriction resulting from the conditions mentioned above. Its regular use decreases spasticity, resulting in better function. Tizanidine is a commonly used drug to treat muscle stiffness and spasms. It is often used in combination with other medications, such as baclofen. Tizan eases pain by lowering the production of certain hormones in the body that raise the heart rate, anxiety, and blood pressure. It should not be taken along with antidepressants. For maximum results, use it under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Common Tizanidine side effects
Tizanidine side effects include dry mouth, nausea, stomach upsets, tiredness, drowsiness, reduction in blood pressure, decreased or increased heart rate, and a sudden rise in blood pressure, especially on stopping the treatment.
Rarely, a patient receiving Tizanidine tablets may experience inflammation of the liver, hallucinations, allergic reactions, sleep disorders, muscle weakness, and changes in liver function. If you get any of these side effects, seek immediate medical help. Also, if you notice any side effects that are not listed in the information guide, report them directly to your healthcare provider. They may further advise you on how to reduce and completely prevent them.
How to take Tizanidine?
Follow the dosing regimen given by your healthcare provider. You must check with your healthcare specialist if you are unsure about the correct Tizanidine dosage. Generally, the recommended starting dose is 2 mg. The medicine is for oral use, and you need to swallow it with a glass of water. Tizan 2 mg may be prescribed before or after consuming food. Dosage can be gradually increased by 2 mg to 4 mg at each dose, with 1 to 4 days between dosage increases until a satisfactory reduction of muscle tone is attained. Make sure the total daily dose should not exceed 36 mg.
The medicine is not recommended for use in children and adolescents. If you are an elderly patient, your doctor will decide whether you are a suitable candidate for this muscle relaxant medication. For patients with renal insufficiency, Tizan 2 mg once daily will help to relieve spasticity due to neurological disorders and painful muscle spasms of spinal origin. Do not discontinue treatment unless your healthcare provider advises you. Tizanidine 2 mg should be stopped gradually; sudden discontinuation may increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart rate.
