Ciclobenzaprina

Is this the generic name for Valium? Bencoprim (Ciclobenzaprina) ## small yellow pill with 121 or maybe a line, a 2, and then another line, and on the other side of the pill is an up arrow symbol(a two sided triangle with no bottom ## To the original poster, the US equivelent is Cyclobenzaprine and no, it is not a generic for Valium, this is a muscle relaxant. ## Valium is an anti anxiety / tranquilizer. It is the same as xanax and atavan. Cyclobenzeprine/flexiril is a mild muscle relaxer that is usually administered for long term relief. ## Absolutely not. Not even close. At all. And why are you asking the internet where very few people are honest and true? Advice from randos online is probably less accurate than tossing a coin into the air and calling heads or tails.

when I stop taking the med I get weak, anxious,shaky ## Hello, Chuck! How are you? Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant and if you've been taking large amounts of it for a long time, then it would be normal to experience some minor withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly stop taking it. That can happen with any medication you take regularly for a long period of time. You may also experience the normal side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

10 mg tablet for sleep aid ## I need info regarding Bencoprim Ciclobenzaprina ## bencoprim 10 mg prescribed for sleep, is this medication correct? ## can u tell me what the pill looks like. it was bought in mexico ## Benocoprim cyclobenziprina is basically flexiril(cyclobenziprine) which is a mild muscle relaxer that doctors administer for long term muscle pain relief. It helps me with my fybromyalgia also. You will notice the difference after about a week of taking it. Benocoprin cyclobenziprina however is a bootlegged form of it so to speak.

The prescription was purchased in Mexico and I'm wondering if that's why there's no imprints or if they could be fake pills? ## Hello Megz, Cyclobenzaprine is a prescription only drug used as a muscle relaxer often sold under the brand name Flexeril. It is often used to treat skeletal muscle spasms and fibromyalgia. Mexico medication does not have to follow FDA regulations such as having imprints.

I take meds for High blood pressure, high colostral, Oxybutynin 5 mg daily, and Omeprazol 20 mg, when would you suggest I take this Ciclobenzaprina. I usually have pain in my bones daily and have arthities in my hands. Thank you . Cece ## Hello, Cece! How are you? There is a possible interaction between the Cyclobenzaprine and the Oxybutynin, since they do some of the same things, so they shouldn't be taken together, unless your doctor has specifically told you to do so. Additionally the Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, not an analgesic, so it will not help with bone pain or arthritis. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. It would be best to consult your doctor for something that would be safe and effective for ...

Is this drug a narcotic and is it addictive. ## not positive, i believe it is a form of flexeril a non narcotic muscle relaxer ## The main active ingredient is cyclobenziprine(actual prescription from the doctor that is FDA approved)brand name flexiril.. i believewas the form you're talking about generally is from Mexico which they do not follow the same strict guidelines as the FDA. Always be careful with drugs from uncertain sources. Anyway it is non narcotic muscle relaxer usually administered for long term muscle pain relief as it is pretty mild. I've been on it for years and can stop taking it whenever and only notice the pain gets worse. No withdrawals..so id say no its not addictive and a pretty safe drug to relieve your pain..
