Tizorel Tablet 2mg contains the active ingredient Tizanidine, which is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. Tizanidine is primarily prescribed to relieve muscle spasms and increased muscle tone associated with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or certain neurological disorders.
Tizorel Tablet 2mg is indicated for the following purposes:
Common side effects of Tizorel Tablet 2mg may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, weakness, fatigue, and nausea. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, inform your doctor promptly.
Rare but serious side effects may include hypotension (low blood pressure), liver toxicity, hallucinations, and allergic reactions. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any severe or concerning symptoms while taking Tizorel Tablet.
Before taking Tizorel Tablet 2mg, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, especially if you have liver disease, kidney disease, low blood pressure, or a history of hypotension. Also, disclose any medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Tizorel Tablet, as it may exacerbate the sedative effects of the medication and increase the risk of drowsiness and dizziness.
Use caution when driving or operating machinery, as Tizanidine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired judgment. Avoid activities that require mental alertness until you know how this medication affects you.
Do not take Tizorel Tablet 2mg if you are allergic to tizanidine or any other ingredients in the medication. Additionally, avoid this medication if you are taking potent CYP1A2 inhibitors (such as fluvoxamine or ciprofloxacin), as concurrent use may increase the risk of adverse effects.
