Cyclobenzaprine is used to help relax certain muscles in your body. It helps relieve pain, stiffness, and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, or injuries to your muscles. However, this medicine does not take the place of rest, exercise or physical therapy, or other treatment that your doctor may recommend for your medical problem. Cyclobenzaprine acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce its muscle relaxant effects. Its actions on the CNS may also cause some of this medicine’s side effects.
This medicine is available only with your doctor’s prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
- Capsule, Extended Release
- Tablet
- Suspension
Flexeril is used together with rest and physical therapy to treat skeletal muscle conditions such as pain, injury, or spasms.
Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Cyclobenzaprine is used together with rest and physical therapy to treat skeletal muscle conditions such as pain or injury. Cyclobenzaprine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

How to use Cyclobenzaprine Tablet
Generic Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) is a muscle relaxer that relieves pain and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, and other muscle injuries. Flexeril is commonly prescribed for short-term use, in combination with rest and physical therapy, after accidents or other circumstances where healing may be slowed by muscle strain. In some cases, Flexeril can be used to treat pain from certain musculoskeletal disorders like fibromyalgia. Flexeril is chemically related to a class of antidepressants called tricyclic antidepressants, and works by acting on the central nervous system, blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent from sore muscles to the brain.
Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. This medication should only be used short-term (for 3 weeks or less) unless directed by your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists after 2 to 3 weeks or if it worsens.
The Mechanism of action of cyclobenzaprine
The exact mechanism of action of cyclobenzaprine has not been fully elucidated in humans, and much of the information available regarding its mechanism has been ascertained from early animal studies. There is some evidence that cyclobenzaprine exerts its effects at the supraspinal level, specifically within the locus coeruleus of the brainstem, with little-to-no action at neuromuscular junctions or directly on skeletal musculature.
Action on the brainstem is thought to result in diminished activity of efferent alpha and gamma motor neurons, likely mediated by inhibition of coeruleus-spinal or reticulospinal pathways, and ultimately depressed spinal cord interneuron activity.
More recently it has been suggested that inhibition of descending serotonergic pathways in the spinal cord via action on 5-HT2 receptors may contribute to cyclobenzaprine’s observed effects.
Cyclobenzaprine is extensively metabolized in the liver via both oxidative and conjugative pathways. Oxidative metabolism, mainly N-demethylation, is catalyzed primarily by CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 (with CYP2D6 implicated to a lesser extent) and is responsible for the major metabolite desmethylcyclobenzaprine.
Cyclobenzaprine also undergoes N-glucuronidation in the liver catalyzed by UGT1A4 and UGT2B10, and has been shown to undergo enterohepatic circulation.

Cyclobenzaprine Abuse and overdose
Cyclobenzaprine may enhance the effects of other central nervous system depressants, such as alcohol, barbiturates, benzodiazepines and narcotics. According to the DEA, abusers often combine cyclobenzaprine with these depressants to produce or enhance psychoactive effects. Though it is not a controlled substance, the DEA has recorded anecdotal reports of use to induce euphoria and relaxation.
Though rare, deaths can occur from cyclobenzaprine overdose, especially in the case of multiple drug ingestion. The FDA recommends that doctors contact a poison control center for current information on treatment for an overdose, as the management of a case is complex.
The most common manifestations associated with overdose are drowsiness and an abnormally rapid heart rate (tachycardia). Less common effects include body twitches (tremor), the loss of control of bodily movements (ataxia), hypertension, agitation, slurred speech, nausea, confusion, dizziness, hallucination, vomiting and coma. Rare but critical effects include cardiac arrest, chest pain and seizures.
Abuse of Cyclobenzaprine
When abused, cyclobenzaprine may have a sedative and relaxing effect and potentially even cause a euphoric “high.” Flexeril may be abused orally, mixed with other drugs, easily dissolved in alcohol, or crushed to be snorted. Flexeril may not be difficult to obtain as it is not classified by the DEA as a controlled substance.
Anytime someone is using a prescription drug without a prescription, or beyond the scope of a legitimate prescription, it is considered drug abuse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) estimates that more than 50 million Americans aged 12 and over have abused a prescription drug one or more times in life. Prescription drugs may seem safer than illicit ones, making them targets for abuse. All drugs act on natural chemicals in the brain, however, and abusing them can lead to drug dependence and addiction.
Drug addiction cost American society close to $200 billion in 2007, in healthcare costs, legal and criminal justice expenses, and lost workplace production, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) reports. Substance abuse treatment can greatly improve some of the behavioral, social, emotional, physical, and financial issues that may arise as the result of drug abuse.
Treatment should be multifaceted and tailored to each individual. Physical drug dependence is often treated with medical detox, for example. The behavioral and emotional aspects of drug abuse and addiction are often treated with behavioral therapies and group and individual counseling sessions that work to improve coping mechanisms, communication skills, self-confidence, and mental health.
Who Abuses Flexeril and Why?
NIDA reports that young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 (according to 2014 data) abuse prescription drugs at the highest rates of any other age demographic. Young adults may use the Internet to access information on how to abuse Flexeril and the possible desirable effects that may come from the drug’s recreational use. Flexeril may be used to heighten the effects of alcohol or other drugs when used recreationally.
Prescription drugs are abused across almost all age, gender, race, cultural, and socioeconomic demographics, however. For example, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that prescription drug abuse is increasing for older adults in their 50s, which may be of particular concern due to the range of negative side effects that specifically impact this population group. Flexeril in particular is not even generally prescribed to the elderly population, according to the FDA, because of the high risk factors.
Additionally, individuals with a legitimate prescription to Flexeril may develop a tolerance to the drug, requiring them to take higher and more frequent doses to feel its effects. Drug dependence can develop wherein the brain becomes accustomed to the interaction of cyclobenzaprine and begins to rely on it in order to keep functioning the same way.
Dependence on Cyclobenzaprine is recognized by the onset of withdrawal symptoms when the drug leaves the bloodstream. These may include fatigue, nausea, headache, and general malaise.
