Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Tizanidine is a commonly used muscle relaxant and is a relatively safe drug. I use it in many people with spasticity due to stroke, stiffness & pain.
Side effects are reported only in a small proportion of people taking tizanidine. These include weakness, tiredness, sleepiness, fatigue, dry mouth and dizziness. All of these side effects occur in less than 5% of people taking the drug.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
