No, Zanaflex is not a narcotic.
Zanaflex is a short-acting muscle relaxer. It works by blocking nerve impulses (pain sensations) that are sent to your brain.
Zanaflex is used to treat spasticity by temporarily relaxing muscle tone.

Zanaflex is not a narcotic and will not show up on a drug screen, the things they test for on a drug screen is for cocaine, narcotics such as percocet,lortab,morphine, thc, ativan, Valium, xanax etc. Zanaflex is a muscle relaxer and they do not test for that on a drug screen, so you have nothing to worry about.
