Important information about cyclobenzaprine

Do not stop taking cyclobenzaprine suddenly if you have been taking it regularly for more than 1 week. This may cause nausea, headache and general discomfort.

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking cyclobenzaprine.

Do not crush, chew, or open any "once-daily" phendimetrazine tablets or capsules. Swallow them whole.

What is cyclobenzaprine?

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain.

Cyclobenzaprine is used to relieve pain, tenderness, and limitation of motion caused by muscle spasms. It is used, along with rest and physical therapy, for short-term treatment (i.e., 2 to 3 weeks).

Cyclobenzaprine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

How should I take cyclobenzaprine?

Take cyclobenzaprine exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Cyclobenzaprine is usually taken several times a day. Follow your doctor's instructions.

You should begin to notice relief from your symptoms after 1 to 2 days of treatment.

Do not stop taking cyclobenzaprine suddenly if you have been taking it regularly for more than 1 week. Stopping suddenly may cause nausea, headache, and general discomfort.

Store cyclobenzaprine at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a cyclobenzaprine overdose include drowsiness, seizures, irregular heartbeats, hallucinations, and difficulty breathing.

What are the possible side effects of cyclobenzaprine?

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking cyclobenzaprine and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); seizures, hallucinations, or confusion; blurred vision; increased heart rate; or depression.

Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take cyclobenzaprine and talk to your doctor if you experience: drowsiness or dizziness; dry mouth or a bad taste in your mouth; insomnia; difficulty urinating; or sweating.

If you stop taking this medication suddenly, you may experience some withdrawal effects.
