What Is Cyclobenzaprine 5mg?
Cyclobenzaprine is a prescription skeletal muscle relaxant, sold under the brand name Flexeril, that helps relieve muscle spasms caused by acute injuries such as strains and sprains. It works on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasm without directly acting on the muscles themselves. Because it is a prescription-only medication, you cannot get cyclobenzaprine over the counter in the United States. It is intended for short-term use — typically two to three weeks — alongside rest and physical therapy.
