About cyclobenzaprine

What is cyclobenzaprine?
Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant, commonly used to treat acute muscle spasms, pain, and stiffness related to musculoskeletal injuries. Initially marketed under the brand name Flexeril, it’s now available only as a generic tablet form and as an extended-release capsule (Amrix). Cyclobenzaprine is frequently prescribed for conditions like back pain, neck strain, and postural tension.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for short-term use, usually not exceeding 2 to 3 weeks, cyclobenzaprine is often combined with rest, physical therapy, and NSAIDs for best results. It’s not effective for treating spasticity associated with cerebral palsy or spinal cord conditions.

Cyclobenzaprine works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to the brain. While it doesn’t relieve inflammation or heal injuries, it can significantly reduce discomfort, helping patients return to normal activity faster. Because of its sedative effects, it’s often taken at bedtime to improve sleep in patients whose pain interferes with rest.

How to get a cyclobenzaprine online prescription?

Getting a cyclobenzaprine prescription online is a simple, secure way to access care for acute muscle pain without an in-person clinic visit. A licensed provider on Klarity Health can assess your symptoms, medical history, and risk factors to determine if muscle relaxants are appropriate.


Steps to get cyclobenzaprine online:

  • Connect to a licensed provider on helloklarity.com.
  • Attend a virtual consultation with a licensed healthcare provide.r
    Receive a prescription if cyclobenzaprine is appropriate for your condition.
  • Pick up your medication from a local pharmacy or have it delivered.
    Schedule follow-up care if symptoms persist or to reassess the need for continued use.
  • Cyclobenzaprine is usually prescribed for no more than 2 to 3 weeks, and it’s important to follow provider instructions closely. Long-term use isn’t generally recommended due to limited evidence of benefit and increased side effect risk.

How does cyclobenzaprine compare to other medications?

Cyclobenzaprine is one of the most commonly prescribed muscle relaxers, especially for short-term musculoskeletal pain. It’s often compared to other muscle relaxants based on effectiveness, sedation risk, and tolerance.


Cyclobenzaprine vs. other muscle relaxants:

  • Tizanidine: Better for neurological spasticity; shorter half-life; more blood pressure risk
  • Methocarbamol: Less sedating; works well for acute muscle pain; may be better tolerated in some; also available in IV form.
  • Baclofen: Preferred for chronic spasticity; not ideal for acute injury
  • Carisoprodol: More abuse potential; generally avoided for long-term use
  • Diazepam: Muscle relaxant effects but higher dependency and sedation risks


Why choose cyclobenzaprine?

  • Highly effective for acute muscle spasms
  • Short-term use with fast onset
  • Widely available and low-cost
  • Often used at bedtime for pain-related sleep disruption


While effective, cyclobenzaprine is not intended for chronic use and should be reassessed if symptoms persist beyond 2 to 3 weeks.
