Tizorel 2mg Tablets (tizanidine) for Muscle Spasms & Spasticity
Description
Tizorel 2mg Tablets — Tizanidine for Muscle Spasms & Spasticity
Tizorel 2mg contains tizanidine, a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist prescribed for the relief of muscle spasms and spasticity. It is a prescription-only medicine requiring physician supervision.
Tizanidine acts on presynaptic alpha-2 receptors in the spinal cord, inhibiting the release of excitatory amino acids and reducing polysynaptic spinal transmission. This reduces excessive muscle tone and relieves painful muscle spasms without significantly impairing voluntary motor function at therapeutic doses.
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
