Tizanidine-induced acute severe cystitis in a female taking famotidine

Clin Pharmacol. 2015 Jul 29:7:83-5. doi: 10.2147/CPAA.S86933. eCollection 2015.

Abstract

Cystitis is a possible adverse drug reaction associated with the use of tizanidine. Such cases have been rarely reported in literature because of the difficulty in establishing the causality. However, from a pharmacovigilance point of view, it is better to report such cases of a possible association between a drug's use and potential adverse drug reactions. We report a case of a 26-year-old Asian female on famotidine who presented with acute severe urinary burning after taking tizanidine.

Keywords: adverse drug reaction; cystitis; famotidine; tizanidine.
