Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant for short-term relief of painful muscle spasms, sold here as Cyclobenzaprine Hcl 15mg tablets.
Cyclobenzaprine
15mg
Cyclobenzaprine Hcl is a skeletal muscle relaxant sold as 15mg tablets in packs of 30 to 180, for short-term relief of muscle spasms such as a strained back or neck.
A strained back or neck often tightens into a spasm: the muscle stays clenched and every movement hurts. Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant used for short-term relief of that kind of spasm. It acts in the brain and nervous system rather than on the muscle fibres themselves, damping the nerve signals that keep a muscle tight, and it is meant to work alongside rest and gentle movement rather than instead of them. It eases the spasm rather than the strain underneath it, which is why the course is short. A course usually runs no longer than two to three weeks.
Swallow the tablet with water; food makes no difference to it. Immediate-release tablets are usually taken up to three times a day, spread across the day, while extended-release capsules are a different product taken once daily. Cyclobenzaprine Hcl comes as 15mg tablets. Drowsiness is common in the first days, so find out how the tablets affect you before driving or working with machinery.
Dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, constipation, heartburn and unusual tiredness are the effects people report most, and they often settle as the body adjusts. Get urgent treatment for a rash or hives, swelling of the face or tongue, or trouble breathing or swallowing — and for a cluster of agitation, fever, sweating, shivering, confusion, a fast or irregular heartbeat, stiff or twitching muscles, hallucinations, loss of coordination, vomiting and diarrhoea. Chest pain is not something to wait out.
Alcohol makes the drowsiness and dizziness noticeably worse, so it is worth leaving out while the course lasts. Cyclobenzaprine must not be combined with an MAO inhibitor — isocarboxazid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline or tranylcypromine — including in the two weeks after one is stopped. Sleeping tablets, anxiety medicines, opioids and other sedating medicines add to the same dulling effect. Cyclobenzaprine can also affect the rhythm of the heart, which is why it is not the usual choice after a recent heart attack, or for someone with heart failure, an irregular heartbeat or an overactive thyroid. Adults over 65 feel more of the side effects.
Cyclobenzaprine Hcl is the form sold here — 15mg tablets, one strength. Keep the pack closed and out of the heat. For other medicines used after a strain or injury, see Painkillers.

Flexeril is a brand name of cyclobenzaprine, which is also sold as Fexmid and Amrix. Here, cyclobenzaprine can be bought online as cyclobenzaprine hcl tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.
No — it is classed as a skeletal muscle relaxant, not a painkiller. Its job is to quieten the overactive nerve signals that hold a muscle clenched; the soreness itself is better handled by paracetamol or ibuprofen, and the two are often used together after a strain.
It is the amount of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride in one tablet — 15mg here. Cyclobenzaprine comes in other strengths too, so the number on the pack is how you tell one tablet from another.
It is best not to. Alcohol adds to the drowsiness and dizziness cyclobenzaprine already causes, and the combination can leave you unsteady and slow to react. The effect is stronger than either one on its own.
Drowsiness is the most common effect and it can appear with the first tablet, so it is worth arranging a lift for the first day or two and seeing how you feel. Machinery and cycling need the same caution.
