What does it do?

Tizanidine hydrochloride is a skeletal muscle relaxant that acts on the central nervous system. It is primarily used to reduce muscle spasms and tension by modulating nerve signals to alleviate excessive muscle contractions.

Tizanidine hydrochloride acts on specific receptors in the spinal cord to inhibit the release of neurotransmitters. This results in decreased nerve signals to the muscles, leading to muscle relaxation and relief from spasms.

Good to know
