🌿 What is Tizanidine 2 mg (Tizan)?

Tizan 2 mg contains Tizanidine, a centrally acting alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. It reduces spasticity by inhibiting presynaptic motor neurons in the spinal cord, leading to decreased release of excitatory neurotransmitters and relief of muscle tone. Tizanidine offers rapid onset of action, making it suitable for episodic spasticity control in conditions like multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury.
