Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband was prescribed tizanidine hcl 4mg as a muscle relaxant to be taken 1 per day prior to going to bed. His pain was extremely bad today so he took one about 7 hours ago. It really helped. It s bedtime now...can he take another one safely now?
You can safely take a single tablet of tizanidine safely. It won’t cause many problems. If the pain is severe, you can consider other analgesics like tramadol or diclofenac for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
