What is cyclobenzaprine HCl and how does it work?

Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Although it is structurally related to the tricyclic class of medicines, it is FDA-approved as an add-on to rest and physical therapy to relieve muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions such as strains and sprains. It works in the central nervous system to ease muscle spasm rather than acting directly on the muscle itself.

It is meant for short-term use, typically up to two or three weeks. Cyclobenzaprine is the active ingredient in the brand-name products Amrix (an extended-release capsule) and Fexmid, and it was the generic for the now-discontinued brand Flexeril.

Cyclobenzaprine cost and savings without insurance

Cyclobenzaprine is available as a generic, which usually keeps the cash price low compared with brand-name muscle relaxants. Even so, the price you pay can differ widely depending on which pharmacy you use, so it pays to compare before you fill. There is no manufacturer savings card for generic cyclobenzaprine, but a free Rx.com discount coupon can be used at the pharmacy counter whether or not you have insurance.

Important safety information

Cyclobenzaprine commonly causes drowsiness, dizziness, and dry mouth. Until you know how it affects you, avoid driving or operating machinery, and avoid alcohol. It should not be taken with, or within 14 days of, an MAO inhibitor because of the risk of a dangerous rise in blood pressure and seizures. It should also be avoided during recovery from a recent heart attack and in people with certain heart rhythm problems, heart block or conduction disturbances, congestive heart failure, or an overactive thyroid.

Because cyclobenzaprine can affect serotonin, combining it with other serotonergic medicines (such as SSRIs, SNRIs, tramadol, or MAOIs) may cause serotonin syndrome. Its anticholinergic effects mean extra caution is needed with urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, or increased eye pressure. Older adults can be more sensitive and may be at higher risk of falls, and higher doses, the extended-release form, and use with liver problems are generally not recommended in these groups. This information is not medical advice; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your full medication list and health conditions before starting cyclobenzaprine.
