B
Feedback:
After IV administration, diuretic effects occur within 5 minutes. The diuretic effect is not seen in 1 minute. The peak of the action occurs in 30 minutes, not the onset of action. The duration of action is 2 hours, not the onset of action.

Hypotension is the most significant adverse effect of tizanidine. Dark black urine, excessive salivation, and eczema are not adverse effects of tizanidine.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
