Brief Answer:
Tizanidine is not in this category!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

ASA/NSAIDS refer to medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, indomethacin, diclofenac, etc. Tizanidine is not in this category and you can actually continue to take the drugs up to your surgery date.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me.

Kind regards.
