Also I'd like to add....
With my long experience in this area that the original Zanaflex was such a "dog" item. We call these items that don't "move" or get used "dogs". Anyway, Zanaflex never moved, the whole time it was on patent. No doctors wanted to use it. Ever. Then Acorda bought the patent from Lilly after it went generic, and made a capsule out of it, and started to aggressively detail it to doctors. Tizanidine has been around for ages, at least 20yrs now. And finally some doctors order it! Its side effect profile and drug interactions with liver metabolism of Cipro and Levaquin make it problematic IMO.
