Description:

Fasdin 2mg Tablets contain Tizanidine Hydrochloride, a centrally acting α2-adrenergic receptor agonist used for the management of muscle spasticity. It works by reducing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters in the spinal cord, leading to decreased muscle tone and improved mobility. Tizanidine is particularly beneficial in patients with conditions like multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and other neurological disorders associated with muscle spasm.

Key Features:

• Centrally acting muscle relaxant.

• Effective in reducing spasticity and muscle stiffness.

• Quick onset of action with short duration.

• Suitable for use in neurological and orthopedic spasticity.

• Low potential for addiction compared to other muscle relaxants.

Dosage & Administration:

• Adults: 2 mg up to three times daily; dosage may be gradually increased based on patient response and tolerability.

• Maximum daily dose should not exceed 36 mg.

• Take with or without food, but maintain consistency to avoid fluctuations in effect.

• Dosage must be individualized by a physician.

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation; taper off gradually to prevent rebound hypertension or tachycardia.

Precautions:

• Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Tizanidine.

• Use with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.

• May cause drowsiness, dizziness, or hypotension—avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.

• Monitor liver function tests during prolonged use.

• Concomitant use with CYP1A2 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine, ciprofloxacin) may cause serious adverse effects.

• Not recommended during pregnancy or lactation unless clearly indicated.

Storage:

• Store below 25 °C in a cool, dry place.

• Protect from light and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.
