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
