How does Zanaflex work?
Zanaflex (Tizanidine) works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. It is an agonist at alpha2-agonist receptor sites and presumably reduces spasticity by increasing presynaptic inhibition of motor neurons.The effects of Zanaflex, tizanidine, are greatest on polysynaptic pathways. The overall effect of these actions is thought to reduce facilitation of spinal motor neurons.
How should you take Zanaflex?
Take Zanaflex dosage exactly as directed. The danger of Zanaflex side effects increases with the size of the dose.Zanaflex dosage for adults: To minimize side effects of Zanaflex, the doctor is likely to begin with a dosage of 4 milligrams, then increase the dose gradually. Doses of 8 milligrams provide relief for most people. No more than 3 doses should be taken each 24 hours. The maximum Zanaflex dose per day is 36 milligrams.
Possible food and drug interactions when taking Zanaflex
Oral contraceptives tend to boost the amount of Zanaflex in the system. If you are using an oral contraceptive, you'll probably need a smaller dose of Zanaflex of this drug. Alcohol, or any drug that slows the nervous system (including other drugs taken for spasticity), increases the likelihood of drowsiness when taken with Zanaflex.
