Caredalud SR tablets are an effective medication specifically designed to provide long-lasting muscle relaxation and relieve painful spasms associated with a variety of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. This medication contains the active ingredient tizanidine at a concentration of 6 mg, but in a unique sustained-release (SR) formulation. This advanced technology allows the medication to be released slowly and steadily over a longer period of time, helping to maintain a sustained therapeutic effect and reduce the need for repeated administration. It also reduces the potential for some side effects associated with fluctuating blood levels. Caredalud SR is an important treatment option for individuals suffering from chronic muscle spasms, improving their quality of life and relieving the pain and discomfort associated with these spasms.
The active ingredient in Caredalud SR tablets
Each Caredalud SR tablet contains the following active ingredient, responsible for its muscle-relaxing effect:
Tizanidine: 6 mg This strength is effective in relieving muscle spasms in many patients. The extended-release formulation also ensures gradual drug release, providing a longer-lasting therapeutic effect.
Available Strengths
Caredalud SR tablets are typically available in the following strengths:
Tizanidine: 6 mg (extended-release formulation).
Other strengths of tizanidine may be available in immediate-release (non-SR) formulations, such as 2 mg or 4 mg, which may be used for different conditions or to adjust the dosage. The physician determines the appropriate strength and dosage form based on a clinical assessment of each individual case.
Indications for Use of Caredalud SR Tablets
Caredalud SR tablets are primarily used to relieve muscle spasms associated with the following conditions:
Multiple sclerosis (MS): This is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system and can cause painful muscle spasms and stiffness.
Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord injuries can lead to involuntary muscle spasms.
Other medical conditions that cause muscle spasms: such as stroke, cerebral palsy, or certain brain injuries.
Tizanidine works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord that cause increased muscle tension and spasms.
