What S Zanaflex Capsule Used For?

My question is that I found some zanaflex capsules in my cabinet and I do not know how long I ve had them. I didn t see the shape or color in your pictures. Mine look like kinda bluish color or maybe green in color, and they are not capsules, I guess they are like pills but in capsules size. I just wanted to know what they were for. I do not recall taking any of it, but I do not know if my husband did at one time. I just wanted to know what they were.

Hi & Welcome to HCM.

Zanaflex (Tizanidine) is a muscle relaxant used in the treatment of muscle spams caused by certain conditions like trauma, spinal cord injury, or spasticity resulting from some neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis.
It acts by helping to relax the muscles.
