cyclobenzoprine ingredients compared to pamprin or midol

Are cyclobenzoprine ingredients similar to midol or pamprin? My daughter is allergic to midol, pamprin, and other type drugs. Wondering if cyclobenzaprine will help with menstrual cramps and cause an allergic reaction. Thanks for assistance. ## Hi, Janice! How are you? No, it is not a similar medication, at all. That is the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine, it is a muscle relaxant that's available only by prescription. Learn more Cyclobenzaprine details here. What ingredient in the others is she allergic to? Knowing that may enable someone to suggest an alternative that she can take. Has she consulted her doctor?
