-Healthy males or females aged 21 to 45 years (both inclusive) with body mass index between 18 and 30 kg/m2 and having normal vision
-Possession of a valid Netherlands driver’s license = 3 years with a reported average annual mileage = 5,000 km during the last 3 years
-Any female surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation at least 6 months prior, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy performed) or any female of child bearing potential should be willing to practice an acceptable method of birth control following screening to completion of study of the study. The acceptable contraceptive methods are condoms, diaphragm, intrauterine device (IUD), same sex partner or partner with vasectomy, (note: hormonal contraception is not permitted as it affects tizanidine pharmacokinetics)
-Potential subjects considered healthy based on medical evaluation, electrocardiogram and laboratory values at screening, all lab values are within normal limits or any value out of normal limits considered by the Investigator to be of no clinical significance
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 24
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
-History of allergies or hypersensitivity or intolerance to tizanidine or diphenhydramine
-History or presence of clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematological, musculoskeletal or sleep disorder
-History of surgery within 4 weeks of screening
-Clinical lab results suggestive of hepatic impairment (ALT or AST or bilirubin > 2 times of ULN) or renal impairment (creatinine > 2 mg/dL)
-Clinically significant history of alcohol intake (> 21 drinks per week).
-History of drug abuse with drugs used for recreational purpose within one year of the screening visit
-Use of any drug known to induce or inhibit hepatic drug metabolism (specifically CPY1A2 inhibitors, fluoroquinolones, zileuton, antiarrythmics, anti-histamines, ticlopidine, anti-virals, oral contraceptives, anti-depressants and any drugs known to cause change in neurological function) within 14 days of screening to end of study
-Signs or symptoms of narrow-angle glaucoma, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction, symptomatic prostatic hypertrophy or bladder-neck obstruction
-History of participation in an investigational drug study within the past 30 days
-History of excessive caffeine consumption (> 5 cups/day) or smoking (=10 cigarettes per day) during the last six months prior to screening
-At admission for each period: evidence of pregnancy (urine pregnancy test positive on urine drug screen for women), or demonstrable blood-alcohol concentration (alcohol breath test)
-Pregnant or lactating females
