What Is A Cyclobenzaprine 10mg

I take cyclobenzaprine every night for my back. Mine have always been mustard color with an M on one side and 751 on the other. The last one I had filled and started to take today is peach in color with 1G on one side and 283 on the other. I have not been able to find a picture of them or the # either. ## Hello, Jean! How are you? This tablet is manufactured by InvaGen Pharmaceuticals and they do list them as containing 10mgs of Cyclobenzaprine. That may be why you had trouble finding them, the marking is actually ig 283, with capital letters, so that's not a 1. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## i was perscribed 10 mg of cyclobenzaprine, it wasnt working well so,i have ne...

How long does the effect of one Pms Cyclobenzaprine 10mg last???? When is the best time to take it EX: morning 11 am after noon 3pm or night 10pm????? ## Cyclobenzaprine is muscle relaxant and, as such, it may cause dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, so it may be easier to take it at night, to avoid it disrupting daytime activities. But it should be taken when you were directed to in the prescribing instructions. The half-life is about 18 hours or so, that's when it hits 50% of the amount taken in your body, so one may last most of the day, depending on how severe your muscle spasms are. How many have you been directed to take daily? There is an extended release version available in some countries that lasts longer and is taken once daily. You can learn more Cyclobenzaprine d...

I would like to know what the expected shelf life is for a Cyclobenzaprine 10 mg tablet that's a tan pill with M on one side? I was prescribed this medication for muscle spasms. ## According to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the expected shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years). Reference: However, my understanding is if they are no longer in the original factory sealed container and have been dispensed into a pharmacy bottle, which exposes them to heat, light and moisture, then the expiration is one year from the date they were dispensed. After that time period, they begin to lose effectiveness. NOTE: For maximizing the shelf-life, the product description depicted on Rising Pharmaceuticals website as well as on DailyMed suggest that the recommended...

Want to know what this drug is equal to in a more familiar name. ## Cyclobenzaprine is Flexeril. ## @Thomas, No two drugs are "equal" in my opinion, because they also contain different binders and fillers, different half-lives (i.e. some lasting longer than others), different release rates (i.e. how quickly it affects you), etc.. So when you ask about an equal substitute, the best I can do is point you in the direction of different brand names of Cyclobenzaprine... Karen named 1 of them, and two others I'm aware of are Amrix and Fexmid. There are also various medications within the same drug classification as Cyclobenzaprine; known as muscle relaxers. A few drug names in this category are as follows: Methocarbamol, Carisoprodol, Metaxalone, Orphenadrine, Chlorzoxazone, and D...

My 80 lb dog ate 1 cyclobenzaprine 10mg about 20 minutes ago. ## Have you consulted your veterinarian? Unfortunately, our information and my own knowledge is only relevant to the use of medications and their affects on humans, we really don't have a lot of details regarding them and animals. The metabolism and reactions can be completely different. Did he show any type of reaction, such as nausea, shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness?

Hi there ,I am going for a Ultra Sound guided Breast Core Needle Biopsy tomorrow after noon. The doctor had prescribed me 2 tablets of Ativan at .5 mg each. I had taken two before, and nothing happened. There was no drowsiness, nothing. I am extremely terrified about tomorrow, and need something for pain and anxiety. Would it be safe to take the 2 tabs (1 mg) of Ativan before bed, and the cyclo at 10mg right before the procedure? ## I wouldn't change what you are taking before the procedure, without checking with your doctor. Some medications may not be safe to have in your system, along with any medications they may use, such as anesthetics. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

How are you? Actually, you'd be better of with the Ibuprofen if your doctor approves of you taking it, since it is classified by the FDA as an NSAID that is used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Cyclobenzaprine, however, is a muscle relaxant, not an analgesic, so it won't do anything to help with a toothache. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything e...

If this drug cyclobenzaprine (10mg) is a muscle relaxer and the heart is a muscle, if I'm taking 1 at a time, is there any danger in harming my heart muscle? If so, what does it take to harm this muscle? ## In order for it do harm to the heart, per se, you'd have to either have a very bad reaction to it, or overdose on it, by taking too much. Otherwise, yes it is a muscle relaxant and, as such, it can cause depression of the central nervous system, which includes the heart, so it may cause your heart to slow down slightly. This is usually not significant in healthy individuals, with normal heart function. However, you should check with your doctor, to make sure it is safe for you to take it, especially if you've had any type of cardiac problem. Are there any other questions ...

My boy friend is coming off of pain killers , higher doses other known as oxys if he takes these 10mg yellow pills will this mess with him? He is on day 4 ## Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) is not an opiate, it is a muscle relaxer. ## @Vg (original poster), Please excuse me If I'm misinterpreting your post, as it's very difficult to make complete sense of certain details mentioned within your description re: "My boy friend is coming off of pain killers , higher doses other known as oxys". However, IF your boyfriend was ever intending on taking Cyclobenzaprine with Oxycodone, I personally wouldn't recommend doing so, since there are known drug interactions between the two medications. Specifically, causing an increased risk of side effects, such as drowsiness, difficulty b...

I have arthritis in my hips and pulled a back muscle at work. Walking is hard to do. Can I take Prednisone and Cyclobenzaprine together? ## You can, as long as your doctor has told you to take them both. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, nervousness, and weight changes. Are you on any other medications? What are the dosages and how long will you be taking them? ## Can I take 4mg Prednisone with 10mg of Cyclobenzaprine at night? I fell down steps and hurt my back.

I recently had cervical spine surgery (fusion of 3 levels). Before the surgery I was prescribed 500mg methocarbamol three times daily. After the surgery I am now prescribed 10mg cyclobenzaprine. Can you tell me the difference between these two medications? ## They are both muscle relaxants, but the base chemicals are different, so one, or the other may work for each different person that tries it, since we are all different. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. How is the new one working for you?

my expiration date for cyclobenzapr 10mg is 3/26/11 can I still take it. ## Hi Henry, Based on my research, the expired medication may still be safe to use but has most likely lost its potency and can no longer be nearly as effective. There are in fact, some medications that can become dangerous after they expire. That being said, it's best to not take any medication after its expiration date. If you desperately need to take the medication, I would seek the advice of a pharmacist. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Cyclobenzaprine Details I hope this helps! ## Is cyclobenzaprine safe to take after 10 mo expiration

Can you post back with more information? Such as what country it is from and/or what it contains? ## Not sure if you are spelling the pill correctly. The first thing that came to mind was Tramadol which is used for pain. If that is the pill you are speaking of Tramadol has a bad interaction with Cyclobenzaprine. Tramadol is one of those pills that can't be used with many drug that relax the body. You do better taking a NSAID. It is very important to read those information sheets that comes with prescription.

Is it okay to take expired cyclobenzaprine 10mg dated 12/2012? ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you? This is a muscle relaxant and it doesn't get dangerous, once expired, but it does begin to lose effectiveness, so it's most likely that it just isn't going to do anything to help. It would be best to get a new prescription. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Can I take cyclobenzaprine that expired on June 26, 2012.
