A member asked:
My husband has lumbar disc disease and has had fusions at l4-l5, l5-l6. he bent down to pickup something and now he is in pain with spasms. should he take his zanaflex (tizanidine) 4mg or flexeril 10mg he has prescriptions for both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle relaxant: He can use either. I would suggest he try Zanaflex (tizanidine) first. Keep in mind both can cause some drowsiness.
