Description:

 

Fasdin 4mg Tablets contain Tizanidine Hydrochloride, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant that works through α2-adrenergic receptor agonism. It reduces spasticity by inhibiting presynaptic motor neurons, resulting in reduced muscle tone without significantly affecting muscle strength. Tizanidine is commonly used to manage spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological conditions.

Key Features:

 

• Effective relief of moderate to severe muscle spasticity.

• Central mechanism of action with rapid onset.

• Beneficial in both acute and chronic neuro-muscular conditions.

• Adjustable dosing based on individual response.

Dosage & Administration:

 

• Adults: Start with 2–4 mg up to three times daily, adjusted based on response.

• Maximum recommended daily dose: 36 mg.

• Swallow with water, with or without food—but take consistently with regard to meals.

• Do not abruptly discontinue; taper gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
