Hi thanks for your question.
Dolonex is piroxicam which is non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (pain killer) and Tizan is Tizandine which centrally acting muscle relaxant.Both drugs are right for the treatment of TMD.There is nothing to afraid of,continue medicine as advised by your treating physician.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello dear...
The medications advised by your Doctor are correct.
Tab dolonex dt is a pain killer
Tab tizan is a muscle relaxant
Both are meant at providing symptomatic relief in TMD.
So...please continue them as advised.
However...tab tizan may cause hypotension.
So...it will be better to get your blood pressure checked & then start the medications.
Wish you a good health & speedy recovery.
Thanks & Take care.
