Libre contains Tizanidine (available in 2mg and 4mg tablets), a potent alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that works directly within the central nervous system (spinal cord and brain). It acts by increasing "presynaptic inhibition" of motor neurons, which effectively blocks the excessive nerve signals that cause muscles to tighten or spasm. Unlike some other muscle relaxants, Tizanidine reduces muscle tone without significantly decreasing muscle strength, making it a premier choice for managing debilitating muscle stiffness while maintaining as much mobility as possible.
In Nigeria, Libre is a specialized clinical choice for patients with chronic neurological conditions. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards and stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain the chemical integrity of the Tizanidine molecule.
Important: This is a specialized, prescription-only medication. The "Short-Action" Rule: Tizanidine works quickly but wears off in about 3 to 6 hours; it is best taken for activities when relief is most needed. The "Blood Pressure" Warning: Because it is related to blood pressure drugs, it can cause a sudden drop in pressure (hypotension), leading to dizziness or fainting. The "Liver" Note: Tizanidine can affect liver enzymes; your doctor will perform regular blood tests. Do not stop taking Libre suddenly if you have been on a high dose, as this can cause a rapid "rebound" spike in heart rate and blood pressure.
Libre Tizanidine Tablets are primarily used to:
Treat Spasticity associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Spinal Cord Injury
Manage muscle stiffness and cramping resulting from a Stroke or Traumatic Brain Injury
Relieve acute, painful muscle spasms related to severe lower back pain or neck injury
Reduce "Muscle Tone" to improve range of motion and ease of physical therapy
Assist in improving sleep quality for patients whose nighttime spasms prevent rest
Provide a "strength-preserving" alternative to other sedating muscle relaxants
Stabilize the nervous system's motor output for better coordination and comfort
This product is suitable for:
Adults with chronic neurological disorders experiencing painful muscle tightness
Patients requiring a muscle relaxant with a short duration of action for specific tasks
Individuals who have not tolerated other muscle relaxants like Baclofen or Diazepam
Not recommended for: Children and adolescents (safety not established). It is strictly contraindicated for patients taking the antidepressant Fluvoxamine or the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, as these drugs can dangerously increase Tizanidine levels in the blood. Use with extreme caution in patients with impaired kidney function or the elderly, as they are more prone to dizziness and falls. Consult our pharmacist if you have a history of liver disease. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; it should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the fetus.
Take exactly as prescribed; doctors often start with a low dose (e.g., 2mg) and increase it slowly
The "Activity" Rule: Take your dose when you need relief most, such as before physical therapy or before bedtime
The "Food" Rule: Be consistent; always take it either with food or always without food, as eating changes how much medicine your body absorbs
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; it can be halved if directed by your doctor
Consistency is Vital: Because the effect is short-lived, most patients take it 3 times daily (every 6 to 8 hours)
The "Dizzy" Tip: Avoid standing up too quickly after taking a dose, especially during the first week of treatment
Regular liver function tests are mandatory during the first 6 months of high-dose therapy
Libre is effective, but some individuals may experience:
Dry mouth (very common)
Drowsiness or sleepiness (very common)
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fatigue or weakness
Blurred vision
Rare but serious: Hallucinations or unusual dreams
Rare: Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
Rare: Yellowing of the eyes/skin (signs of liver stress)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience a very slow pulse, sudden fainting, severe confusion, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (swelling of the face or throat).

Will this make me too sleepy to work?
Tizanidine is known to cause drowsiness. Many patients find it helpful to take their largest dose at night and smaller doses during the day. You should not drive until you are sure the medicine doesn't make you too sleepy.
Can I take this with my painkiller?
It depends. Taking Tizanidine with other sedatives (like Opioids or Sleep Meds) can cause extreme sleepiness and slowed breathing. Always show our pharmacist your full list of medications before starting Libre.
Does it work for a simple pulled muscle?
While it can work, Tizanidine is a very strong "central" relaxant usually reserved for severe spasms and neurological conditions. For a simple muscle strain, a milder relaxant or an anti-inflammatory may be tried first.
Where can I purchase Libre Tizanidine in Nigeria?
