Can Cyclobenzaprine Be Taken Safely By Someone With Severe Muscle Spasms?
I have some cyclobenzaprine 5 mg that I was prescribed for me 02/11/15 for muscle spasms. I am having a muscle spasm and wonder are these still good and will they harm me if I take one for relief? Please advise. My email address is YYYY@YYYY . Please do not share it or sign me up to receive medical emails. I just want an answer to my question.
Hello, Yes you can have it. It has certain side effects but safe in most of the individuals and you had it previously so less likely to cause now. If you have extended release formulation then 15 mg once daily and if immediate release formulation then 5 mg 3 times daily and may increase up to 10 mg 3 times daily if needed. Maximum can be taken UpTo 2 weeks. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
