Brief Answer: It is safe. Has no direct kidney related damage!! Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I know many people are scared knowing they have just a single kidney but the truth is that a singe kidney is more than sufficient to ensure proper functioning of the renal system. Cyclobenzapril has no adverse effects on the kidneys. The only known rare reported worry has been urinary retention. Should this occur, it would be relieved timely and sure it will not have any effects on the proper functioning of this kidney. I will recommend that you take this drug without any fears. If you should have any difficulties emptying your bladder, get it addressed and stop the medication. It is a very rare side effect and would in no way damage the remaining kidney. I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if needed. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services. Dr. Ivo, MD.
