Tizanidine hydrochloride (
Zanaflex®) is a drug used for the short-term treatment of muscle spasms and other symptoms of spasticity, such as muscle cramps and tightness.

Most people have no problems when taking tizanidine, but side effects are possible. Some of the more common side effects reported with this medication include dry mouth, weakness, and drowsiness.
