Abstract

The gastroprotective properties of tizanidine, a centrally acting myorelaxant, are discussed. It is noted that there is no strong evidence suggesting the ability of tizanidine to reduce the risk of serious gastrointestinal complications arising from with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and to decrease their need (average daily dose). It is stated that in inflammatory rheumatic diseases, myorelaxants (including tizanidine) are likely to be useful as a component of symptomatic therapy in a number of cases.
