Question 3

can tizanidine be taken in pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Class C: This medication is a class c medication which means that it may be harmful but there aren't sufficient human studies to say for sure.  I would check with your wife or girlfriend's neurologist, as they prescribe this medication most frequently.

Question 4

will tizanidine elevate blood sugar level?

Accepted Answer

No: Tizanidine should not cause any changes in blood sugar level. The one caveat to this is if you have something like a spinal cord injury where you have large muscles in spasm, and tizanidine works very well cutting down these spasms, you could lower your metabolism thus increasing your blood sugar. Otherwise, if you dont have an sci/tbi/stroke, then it shouldn't change your sugars at all.

Tizanidine B. Thin: Tizanidine does not contain blood thinners.
