A member asked:
My doctor recommended i take tanaflex (tizanidine) for my severe back spasms. how does it work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antispasmodic: Tanaflex is a medication that works to relieve muscle spasms. Although this will help treat the symptoms of the muscle spasm, it will not cure them. Once the medication is working, you may need to undergo physical therapy to appropriately treat the muscles that are in spasm.
