A sympatholytic cardiovascular agent delivered by a drug delivery pump to a central nervous system site to alleviate symptoms and otherwise treat heart failure (HF) and pathologies associated with HF. The drug delivery pump can be external or implantable infusion pump (IIP) coupled with a drug infusion catheter extending to the site. A patient activator can command delivery of a dosage and / or an implantable heart monitor (IHM) coupled with a sensor can detect physiologic parameters associated with HF (or pathologies associated with HF) and trigger dosage delivery. The IIP and IHM can be combined into a single implantable medical device (IMD) or can constitute separate IMDs that communicate by any of known communication mechanisms. The sympatholytic cardiovascular agent is one of the group consisting of an alpha-adrenergic agonist and an alpha2-adrenergic agonist, e.g., clonidine, p-aminoclonidine, guanabenz, lidamidine, tizanidine, moxonidine, methyldopa, xylazine, guanfacine, detomidine, medetomidine, and dexmedetomidine.

A method of treating the symptoms of spasticity comprises implanting a reservoir-based drug delivery composition into a subject to systemically deliver a therapeutically effective amount of tizanidine to the subject for a long period of time (e.g., one month or one year). The drug delivery composition may include a rate-controlling excipient (e.g., an elastomeric polymer) defining a reservoir containing at least one discrete solid dosage form (e.g., one or more pellets), which includes tizanidine free base and optionally, a sorption enhancer.

An article and method for increasing the extent of tizanidine absorption in a patient receiving tizanidine therapy. Tizanidine may be administered in the form of an immediate release tablet composition at or around the time food is consumed. The composition may be packaged in a container for distribution.

A slowly-released medicine of tizanidine in the form of dispersing solid is prepared from tizanidine and slow-releasing skeleton.

An article and method for reducing somnolence in a patient receiving tizanidine therapy. Tizanidine may be administered in the form of an immediate release multiparticulate composition at or around the time food is consumed. The composition may be packaged in a container for distribution.

The invention relates to a nizatidine and it's derivate, wherein it contains the general-release paret whose active compotents are nizatidine and its derivate, and the slow-release part, while the mol ratio between nizatidine and derivate are 5-95:5-95. The invention also provides a relative preparation. The test has proves that its effect is higher than slow-release agent, and its rate of side effect is lower than general-release agent.

An application of tizanidine or its derivative in preparing the medicines for treating insomnia, elongating SWS sleeping and preventing senile dementia is disclosed.

The invention relates to a novel application of both tizanidine and a ramification of tizanidine, in particular to the novel application of both tizanidine and the tizanidine ramification in the process of preparing medicines used for treating anxiety disorder. The invention also provides an application of a medicine compound containing tizanidine and the tizanidine ramification in the process ofpreparing medicines used for treating anxiety disorder. As a central muscle relaxants pain-releasing medicine, tizanidine not only can release the pain but also can solve the anxiety of pain sufferers.

The subject invention describes a method of use of Ropinirole™ to alleviate and control menopausal symptoms in women, and in particular, hot flashes. The invention describes the use of Ropinirole as a dopamine agonist with affinity for the dopamine D2, D3, or D4 receptors. Ropinirole may also be used to treat menopausal symptoms in conjunction with Tizanidine™ to further reduce the effects menopausal symptoms by providing a sedative and muscle relaxant effect which aids in sleep. The combination of Ropinirole and Tizanidine provides a useful new compound for treatment of menopausal symptoms that are most disruptive to the functioning in activities of daily living.
