Cyclobenzaprine 5mg

Is it ok to take this medicine the fill date on the bottle is 10/29/13 and today's date is 8/4/14? ## Hello, Sandy! How are you? Medications tend to degrade and lost effectiveness over time, so it would best to simply dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription. Side effects to this muscle relaxant may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

what is the shelf life of cyclobenzapine 5 mg? ## Hi cindirs, According to Rising Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of Cyclobenzaprine, the expected shelf-life of the drug is 24 months (2 years). Reference: However, there's actually a lot of conflicting information around the topic of expired medication/shelf-life of a drug. According to a Harvard Medical School family health article, except in rare cases (i.e. tetracycline), there is little chance of danger due to taking medications even up to 15 years beyond their expiration date. This conclusion was based upon a study conducted at the request of the US military due to stockpiles of expensive drugs they could otherwise need to replace every few years. The conclusion was that 90% of those drugs remained effective 10 - 15 years after...

Mine is blue tablet with markings ## Hello, Reeree! How are you? Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that's used to treat the spasms that can be associated with muscle sprains, strains and injury. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. What are the markings on the tablet in question? That is what would enable it to be identified for you. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

I've been taken this med on and off for 2 years now and all of a sudden I'm starting to itch a lot on my body. It started from my legs and sometimes it would feel like pins and needles going up to my arm, and sometimes my neck and my throat. It's very irritating at times so is it possible for side effects to happen after those years of taking it on and off? ## Hello, Viv! How are you? Our bodies change with time, so it is always possible to develop a new reaction to a medication. However, there is also a chance that it is unrelated, so you should have it checked out to be sure. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## hello i just pulled a muscle from ...

Which is stronger a cyclobenzaprine 5mg or a diazepam 5mg? ## There is actually no way to compare these two drugs, because they aren't in the same drug class. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that's used to treat muscle pain and spasms caused by cramping, sprains and strains. However, Diazepam is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, it also has the potential to be habit forming. You can learn more Cyclobenzaprine details here and you can learn more Diazepam details here. Which has your doctor prescribed for you and what are you treating? ## DIAZEPAM FOR NECK MUSCLE PAIN

Are these pills similar/same: cyclobenzapr 5 mg, (blue) and cyclobenzaprine 5mg (orange) but smaller: generic for Flexeril? ## If the active ingredient in both is 5mgs of Cyclobenzaprine, then they should both be the same. What are the markings on the tablets? This muscle relaxant may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and headache. Learn more: ## one is a blue round with M and 771 in each side. The other was orange, smaller in size (was taken/finished weeks ago) Thank you! ## My 14 yr old child brought 1 to me and said she liked it. I asked where she got it....

I'm taking Trazodone 10mg and was now prescribed cyclobenzaprine 5mg. Can these meds be taken simultaneously? ## Hello, Sandy! How are you? Were they both prescribed by the same doctor, so they are aware you are taking both? They both tend to increase sedation and both can also increase serotonin levels, which could be dangerous if they go too high, so they should only be taken together, if your doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, cry mouth and drowsiness.

I was prescribed cyclobenzaprine 5mg 3 times daily as needed for discomfort and diclofenac pot. 50mg once daily. My complaint was neck and shoulder pain. I was given an xray and was told it could be degenerative joint disease. I take Valsartan/hctz half of a 25mg pill. I took all 3 the other morning and what I would describe as butterfly feeling in my chest like 40 minutes after taking it. Should I stop taking it and call my dr.? It was the 1st time I had taken all 3. ## Hello, Mick! How are you? The Diclofenac can affect your blood pressure medication, so it may not work as well for you. That may be what caused this symptom. Yes, it would be best to speak to your doctor about the issue. They may want to adjust your dosage, or prescribe another medication. As listed by the FDA, Valsarta...

Good evening. The Dr. has had me on cyclobenzaprine 5mg LEG 3 times a day for several years. I just went to get my refill and was given cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride USP 10 mg instead of the tabs I have been taking. My RX hasn't changed so I was wondering if I had been given the wrong RX or if it is the same with the same side effects. I can take the benzapr 5mg. without any problems but am afraid of taking the benzaprine 10 mg. The Pharmacy not only gave me this RX i was not prescribed for, they put it from a totally different dr. that has been giving my prescriptions for benzapr. PLEASE tell me what to do...? Thank you so much for your time. ## Hello, Tawnya! How are you? Benzaprine and Cyclobenzaprine are the same medication, Benzaprine is just a name brand for Cyclobenzaprine, s...

I was prescribed Cyclobenzaprine tl 211 at first the pills are 5 mgs Manufactured by Cadista Now recently my doctor has prescribed me Cyclobenzaprine 5 mgs 1 side IG other side 282 Manufactured by Camber these pills are half the size of the tl 211 is there any ingredient missing Im suppose to be worried about in the IG 282 because the pill is smaller? ## Hello, Loretta! How are you? No, they are both listed by their respective manufacturers, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical and InvaGen Pharmaceuticals as containing 5mgs of Cyclobenzaprine. With generics, when one from a different manufacturer is smaller, it's usually because they've used different inactive fillers and is nothing to worry about. The FDA classifies this medication as a muscle relaxant and lists its typical side effects...

I took a 5mg Flexeril (just one pill, for just one day) and the next morning had 4 positive pregnancy tests. Went to the doctor the next day and it was negative? Is this possible? ## Wow! Why did you do 4 of them? Some medications can cause false positives, but there are other things that can cause them, as well, such as hormonal treatments, user error, defective tests, and antihistamines that are taken for allergies. Did the doctor do an actual blood test?

I just had my husband pick up my script. and the color is different. Both are cylobenzapr. 5 mg tab. but one has cam on the end of the discription and one has myl. I would like to know why it is different. Thanks ## I had the same thing happen today and I took it to the pharmacy and they said that those letters stand for the manufacture of the product. They are the same thing. ## Dara is correct, they've just been manufactured by different companies, for example the MYL stands for Mylan Pharmaceuticals. Learn more Cyclobenzaprine details here. This is a generic and, once a medication is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies and it will look however they want it to look, there is no set formula for the shape, size or color.

the bottle says hydrocodone bitartrate cyclobenzaprine hcl on it. 5/ 5mg. What is this? ## White capsule no markings...ibuprofen??? ## As to the original poster, since that is not a standard medication that's available in the U.S., there is a chance it was special ordered by someone's doctor and created for them by a compounding pharmacy. They frequently use unmarked capsules. The FDA warns that, if those are the ingredients it contains, it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Gary, most Ibuprofen comes in tablet form. Do you know anything else about it, such as its origins? ## Hello, I had a group of family members stay with me for a week and I found a white capsule without any markings in the ro...
