Important information on Cyclobenzaprine

You will first have to tell your doctor if you are at least sixty-five years of age. This medication may not be safe to handle muscle pains in older patients. Your doctor may prescribe another muscle pain reliever to you if you are sixty-five or older.

The next point is to tell your doctor if you are taking any prescription drugs or other supplements. This is especially important if you have taken any medications in the past two weeks. You will need to discuss all medications that you might have used to treat depression, colds, allergies, seizures or sleeping disorders. You should also mention if you have taken any MAO inhibitors like phenelzine in the past two weeks.

You can take this medication by mouth. It can be found in a standard or extended-release form. Only your doctor can tell you which option is right for you. The number of pills that you will need each day will vary by each form. A standard Cyclobenzaprine pill can be taken two to four times a day. An extended-release pill that will release its contents over a longer period of time can be taken once or twice a day.

You should keep a watch over how long you are using this medication. It should not be used on a regular basis for more than three weeks at a time. You should talk with your doctor to figure out how long you should take this medication and how long of a break you should take between cycles of treatment on it.

The medication should be taken without any doses overlapping each other. This means that any missed doses should not be taken right before you take the next tablet. However, it will help to take a missed dose as soon as possible if you have forgotten one but remember within a few hours of when you were supposed to take it.

You should watch for how your body responds to Cyclobenzaprine when you take it. You should avoid driving or operating any machinery until you see how you’ll react to the medication. Finally, you should not continue to take Cyclobenzaprine if you experience a skin rash, an unusual heart rate, seizures or swelling around your face.
