Tizanidine
Tizanidine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant primarily used for the treatment of muscle spasticity. It acts as an Alpha-2-Adrenoceptor agonist and inhibits the release of excitatory neurotransmitters in the spinal cord. This reduces muscle tone and spastic symptoms. The substance may have sedative effects and requires careful monitoring during use.
