How It Works

Tizanidine, the active ingredient in Pindalud, works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasms. It inhibits certain nerve impulses in the spinal cord that control muscle tension and contraction, resulting in muscle relaxation.

Dosage

The typical starting dose is 2mg taken orally up to three times per day. This can be gradually increased to 4mg three times daily, based on the patient’s response and tolerance. The maximum recommended dose is 36mg per day. Always follow your doctor’s specific dosing instructions.

Duration of Action

Pindalud typically starts working within 1-2 hours after ingestion. Its effects usually last for 3-6 hours, which is why multiple daily doses are often prescribed. The full therapeutic effect may be observed after several days of consistent use.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, and weakness. Less common side effects can include low blood pressure, hallucinations, and liver function abnormalities. Consult your doctor if you experience any persistent or severe side effects.
