- Long term use should not be stopped suddenly without medical advice.
Drug Interactions
Mylex tablet 4mg can interact with several medicines, so combining it with other drugs needs medical supervision.
- Fluvoxamine: This antidepressant sharply raises tizanidine levels in the blood, so the combination is generally avoided.
- Ciprofloxacin: This antibiotic raises the risk of very low blood pressure and extreme drowsiness with Mylex.
- Oral contraceptives: Birth control pills can raise tizanidine levels and increase side effects.
- Blood pressure medicines: Clonidine and similar medicines can cause an excessive drop in blood pressure when combined with Mylex.
- Alcohol and sedatives: These increase drowsiness and the risk of breathing problems when taken with Mylex.
Risks and warnings
- Low blood pressure: Mylex can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, especially when standing up quickly.
- Liver function: Higher doses may affect liver enzymes, so periodic blood tests are advised.
- Drowsiness: The tablet can cause sedation, so driving or handling machinery is not safe after taking it.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Doctor approval is needed before using Mylex during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
