Could use your help docs! my doctor recommended i take tanaflex (tizanidine) for my severe back spasms. should i?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can: Zanaflex (tizanidine) is a muscle relaxant which is a perfectly fine option to treat back spasms. Like just about everything else in life and in medicine, we can't guarantee that a particular treatment will work, so if your problems persist then go back to your doctor to discuss further options.
