Relentus
- Relentus (Tizanidine) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant used to relieve painful muscle spasms associated with spinal disorders and post-surgical recovery, as well as to manage spasticity due to neurological conditions.
- By inhibiting excitatory signals in the spinal cord, it reduces muscle tone and spasticity while offering moderate central analgesia.
- Dosing must be individualized based on patient needs and tolerability, with careful monitoring for potential side effects and interactions.
