Flexeril

Flexeril is a muscle relaxant drug used for treatment of symptoms caused by muscle spasms, such as pain and tenderness. Flexeril's generic name is cyclobenzaprine. A usual Flexeril dosage is 5 mg or 10 mg, in tablet form. You should follow the storage directions exactly, in order to maximize Flexeril's shelf life.

Flexeril side effects may be minor, such as heartburn, constipation, or dry mouth, but major side effects like seizures, fainting, and chest pain may rarely occur. Some users also report a bad taste in their mouth while taking Flexeril, but this is also a minor side effect. Any minor side effects should be discussed with your doctor, and emergency treatment should be sought for major side effects or allergic reactions to Flexeril. Flexeril is a class "B" drug, so it is not thought to cause harm to pregnant or nursing women. However, women who are pregnant or nursing, or plan to become pregnant or begin nursing, should still discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor. Alcohol use should be avoided while you are taking Flexeril. People with certain medical conditions, especially overactive thyroid, glaucoma, or those who have had a previous heart attack, may not be able to take Flexeril or may require a lower dosage. Patients on certain medication may also need to avoid Flexeril. Such medications may include antidepressants, or any medication that makes the user drowsy. Discuss any medical conditions you have and all medications you take with your doctor before beginning Flexeril, so he or she can properly determine if Flexeril is right for you.

Flexeril must be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is intended for short term use only. Do not suddenly stop taking Flexeril without talking to your doctor, as he or she may want to gradually reduce your dosage to avoid withdrawal symptoms. On the other hand, you should not take higher dosages of Flexeril than prescribed, or take it for longer than your doctor recommends, as this may lead to overdose. Flexeril overdose is characterized by seizure, hallucinations, or tremors, and requires immediate medical care, as it may be fatal. Due to the possibility of side effects, interactions, and overdose, you should never buy Flexeril with no prescription. If you are unable to get Flexeril from your local pharmacy, there are online pharmacies where you can buy Flexeril and get overnight delivery or next day delivery.
