What Is Cyclobenzaprine Used For?

Cyclobenzaprine is a medication sometimes prescribed to people with muscle spasms originating from acute musculoskeletal conditions such as strains, sprains, or similar acute problems. It may may also have a role in treating depression, neuropathic pain, migraine prophylaxis, and attention deficit hyperactive disorder. Cyclobenzaprine is thought to work by reducing muscle hyperactivity by exerting its effects at the level of the brain stem.

Cyclobenzaprine has been marketed at times under brand names like Amrix, Fexmid and Flexeril, that, like metaxalone (Skelaxin) and methocarbamol (Robaxin). The medication is not typically intended for spasticity from multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury, standalone treatment of chronic back pain, or opioid-style pain relief. Cyclobenzaprine is also found in the medication Tonmya which is used for relief in fibromyalgia.

Cyclobenzaprine - Dosage and Cost

Cyclobenzaprine is often started at 5 mg tablets three times per day and may be titrated to patient response. Common medication strengths include 5 mg and 10 mg immediate-release tablets and extended-release products are also sometimes available. A full medication course typically lasts days to 3 weeks and is used in conjunction with physical therapy and rest.

Generic cyclobenzaprine tablets are affordable, usually costing under 30 cents per tablet at many pharmacies. Some insurance plans may help with costs as may prescription discount cards.
