Quick answerBrand Zanaflex 4 mg lists at $537.23 for 150 tablets or $721.53 for 150 capsules in the U.S. We found no brand Zanaflex at the licensed pharmacies abroad we compare (Nov 11, 2026). FDA-approved generic tizanidine is sold in the U.S. by many companies.

Each row is one product from one pharmacy, shown in the pack size with the lowest price per unit; its other pack sizes are listed under “other pack sizes”. Price per unit = the pack price divided by the units in the pack, before shipping; we sort by it and don't assume how long a pack lasts. Total with shipping = the pack price plus the pharmacy's shipping fee for one order. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars (converted when a pharmacy prices in Canadian dollars). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

What is Zanaflex used for?
Zanaflex (tizanidine) is a medicine that relaxes tight muscles by acting on the nervous system (a central alpha-2 agonist). According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used for:
- Spasticity (muscle tightness and stiffness) in adults.
Zanaflex has no fixed daily dose. The label's starting dose is 2 mg every 6 to 8 hours as needed, up to 3 doses in 24 hours, and no more than 36 mg in a day. Capsules and tablets act differently when taken with food, so the label says to take it the same way each time. The label has no boxed warning, and the FDA's drug listing shows no DEA schedule. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Zanaflex from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and FDA-approved generic tizanidine is sold in the U.S., so compare its price before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. We found no Zanaflex listing in Health Canada's drug database. Pharmacies abroad may sell tizanidine under other names; the price table shows each pack's name and country.
