Taking esomeprazole and tizanidine together can significantly increase the amount of tizanidine in your blood. This makes side effects much more likely and more severe. You may experience extreme drowsiness, dizziness, a significant drop in blood pressure (which can lead to fainting), and a very slow heart rate.

Why this happens
Tizanidine is broken down in the body by a specific liver enzyme (CYP1A2). Esomeprazole interferes with this enzyme, slowing down how quickly the body can get rid of tizanidine. This causes the medicine to build up to potentially dangerous levels.
What you should do
You should speak to your doctor before taking these two medicines together. They may want to adjust your dose of tizanidine or suggest an alternative acid-reducing medication (such as famotidine) that does not interfere with your liver enzymes in the same way. If you are already taking both and feel unusually sleepy or faint, seek medical advice immediately.
