'Xanaflex' is actually the misspelling of Zanaflex, a widely popular muscle relaxant. Zanaflex works by relaxing tense, rigid muscles caused by spasticity. It is typically prescribed for people with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and other disorders that produce protracted muscles spasms. The effect of Zanaflex peaks 1 to 2 hours after each dose and is usually gone within 3 to 6 hours; so it is best to schedule doses for shortly before the daily activities (when relief of spasticity is most important).

Important information before you buy Xanaflex
Zanaflex is known to cause drowsiness in almost half the people who use it. It also tends to reduce blood pressure in many people, frequently leading to dizziness and light-headedness. The likelihood of experiencing significant drowsiness increases when Zanaflex is combined with other spasticity drugs, such as Lioresal, Klonopin, and Valium. When taking Zanaflex, always be cautious about driving or operating dangerous machinery.

How to take Xanaflex
Take Zanaflex exactly as directed. The danger of side effects increases with the size of the dose. Doses should be taken only as needed and patients should allow 6 to 8 hours between doses. Zanaflex should be taken no more than 3 a day and the dose should never be doubled.

Possible Xanaflex Side Effects
As with any prescription drug, side effects can never be predicted or anticipated for anyone, as every individual is unique and may react differently. Below we've detailed some possible Zanflex side effects, and if you experience any that are particularly intense or troubling, you should contact a doctor immediately.

Researchers have little information on the long-term consequences of using Zanaflex in single doses of more than 8 milligrams, or in total amounts of more than 24 milligrams a day. If you require a higher dosage, previously unrecognized side effects could possibly appear. A number of very rare side effects have also been reported by some users of Zanaflex. Again, if you are taking it and develop any new or unusual symptoms, be sure to check with your doctor.

More common Xanaflex side effects may include:
Runny nose, slow heartbeat, sore throat, low blood pressure, nervousness, urinary and other infections, speech disorders, abnormal movements, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, flu-like symptoms, frequent urination, vomiting, weakness or fatigue.

Less common or rare Xanaflex side effects may include:
Fever, indigestion, muscle weakness, rash, sores, abdominal pain, anxiety, back pain, depression, diarrhea, sweating, tingling.

Before you buy Xanflex - Special Precautions
Avoid Zanaflex if you find that it gives you an allergic reaction.

Remember again that Zanaflex may cause low blood pressure and should be used with caution if you are taking blood pressure medication. Be cautious, too, when first standing up as dizziness and light-headedness are especially likely at that time. Use Zanaflex with caution if spasticity helps you maintain your posture and balance while walking, or helps to increase other functions.

Zanaflex has been known to cause liver injury in a few patients. If you have a liver condition, ensure that the doctor knows about it. Alert your doctor immediately if you develop warning signs of a liver problem such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or yellow skin or eyes.

If you have a kidney problem, you'll need a reduced dose of Zanaflex. Be sure to inform the doctor about any such condition, and be quick to report side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, and weakness. They could be signs that your dose is too high.

Although there are no reports of eye damage from Zanaflex, it has occurred in some animal tests. Be sure to report any vision problems to your doctor.

Oral contraceptives tend to boost the amount of Zanaflex in the system. If you are using an oral contraceptive, you'll probably need to take a smaller dose of Zanaflex.

Alcohol, or any drug that slows the nervous system (including other drugs taken for spasticity), increases the likelihood of drowsiness when taken with Zanaflex. If Zanaflex is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered, thus check with your doctor before combining Zanaflex with any prescription or non-prescription drugs.

Recommended Xanaflex Dosage
Zanaflex has not been tested in children. For adults, to minimize side effects, the doctor is likely to begin with a dosage of 4 milligrams, then increase the dose gradually. Doses of 8 milligrams provide relief for most people. No more than 3 doses should be taken each 24 hours. The maximum dose per day is 36 milligrams.
