Suggest Flexeril Dosage For Severe Back Pain

I took flexoril , broke it in half and took approx. 5 mg, then took the remaining half 35 minutes later, and it didn t work. The night before I took the whole 10 mg pill and it worked fine. Can I take another one? It,s been about 6 hours, and I m having severe back pain. Thank you.

Hi,

It is started from the dose of 5 mg per day then gradually dose should be titrated up. Please consult a physician for your complaints so that your treatment can be appropriately started. It is further advisable to take medicines under the guidance of a physician only.

Hope that helps. If you have any further questions, I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
