Tizanidine is a muscle relaxant commonly prescribed to alleviate muscle spasms caused by conditions such as multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries. It works by blocking nerve impulses that are sent to the brain, thereby reducing muscle tightness and improving overall mobility. Tizanidine tablets are typically taken orally, and the dosage varies depending on the severity of the condition. This medication is often chosen for its rapid onset of action, providing quick relief. Tizanidine is primarily used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include physical therapy.
