Ternelin 4mg Tablets (10 Tablets) – Muscle Relaxant for Spasm Relief

Description

Ternelin 4mg Tablets contain Tizanidine, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant. It is primarily prescribed to relieve muscle spasms and spasticity resulting from neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy.

Tizanidine works by reducing excessive muscle tone via the central nervous system, helping to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Ternelin is available in a convenient 4mg strength and comes in a pack of 10 tablets for oral administration.
