What Experts Say

Tizanidine works on the central nervous system to calm overactive nerve signals that cause muscles to tighten and spasm. This helps ease stiffness, reduce pain, and improve movement in conditions that cause spasticity, such as spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.

Kadin is usually started at a low dose and increased gradually under medical guidance, since it can cause drowsiness and a drop in blood pressure, especially with the first few doses. Doses are typically spaced through the day, and liver function may be checked during longer treatment.

Because tizanidine causes sedation, patients should avoid driving or operating machinery until they know how the medicine affects them. Alcohol and other sedating medicines can worsen drowsiness and low blood pressure, so they should be avoided during treatment.
