| Drug Class: What is Zanaflex and why is it prescribed? | ||

rigid muscles caused by spasticity. Generic Zanaflex is prescribed for people with multiple
sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and other disorders that produce protracted muscles
spasms. The effect of Generic Zanaflex drug peaks 1 to 2 hours after each dose and is gone within 3 to 6 hours, so it is best to schedule Generic Zanaflex doses for shortly before the daily activities when relief of spasticity is most important. |

| Zanaflex Mechanism: How does Zanaflex work? | ||
| Generic Zanaflex (Tizanidine) works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations)
that are sent to your brain. Generic Zanaflex is an agonist at alpha2-agonist receptor sites and presumably reduces spasticity by increasing presynaptic inhibition of motor neurons. The effects of Generic Zanaflex, Tizanidine, are greatest on polysynaptic pathways. The overall effect of these actions is thought to reduce facilitation of spinal motor neurons. |
