Natalie, Generic name is tizanidine. Zanaflex is suppose to help with the muscle spasms. However, my TENS unit has done much better in reducing the muscle spasms plus relieving the lower back pain. I hardley take any pain meds now - only on the VERY BAD days usually the day after I've done too much the previous day or its going to rain - waiting to see about the cold weather! Hope info helps. Prays and thoughts for each and everyone, Candy K.
