About this product

Overview

Terlax 2mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Tizanidine, which belongs to a class of medications called muscle relaxants. It is primarily used to treat muscle spasms and spasticity associated with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or certain neurological disorders.

Key Ingredient and Its Benefits

  • Tizanidine: Tizanidine works by inhibiting nerve signals that cause muscles to contract involuntarily. It acts on the central nervous system to relax muscles and reduce muscle tone, thereby relieving spasms and stiffness.

Uses

Terlax 2mg Tablet is indicated for:

  • Relief of muscle spasms and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis.
  • Management of muscle spasms and stiffness caused by spinal cord injury or certain neurological conditions.
  • Treatment of acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain or strains.

Dosage and Administration

  • The recommended starting dose of Terlax 2mg Tablet is typically 2 mg taken orally every 6-8 hours as needed.
  • The dose may be gradually increased under medical supervision, up to a maximum of 36 mg per day, depending on individual response and tolerance.
  • Take Terlax tablets with or without food, but consistently with regard to food intake.
  • Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as it may increase the risk of side effects.

Precautions

  • Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney disease.
  • Avoid consuming alcohol or other central nervous system depressants while taking Terlax, as it may increase drowsiness and dizziness.
  • Use caution when driving or operating machinery, as Terlax may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
  • Do not stop taking Terlax abruptly, as it may lead to withdrawal symptoms such as high blood pressure, fast heart rate, tremors, and anxiety. Your healthcare provider may need to gradually taper the dose.

Common side effects of Terlax 2mg Tablet may include:

  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Weakness
  • Dry mouth
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Constipation

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

  • Liver enzyme abnormalities
  • Hallucinations

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
