Guide To Cyclobenzaprine

Uses

Cyclobenzaprine is approved for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and muscle spasms. Patients typically use it to treat acute musculoskeletal conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, and soreness resulting from an accident or injuries due to sports or the workplace. Patients often take this medication along with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen to improve pain relief.

Doctors recommend that cyclobenzaprine be used as part of a treatment program that includes rest, activity modification, and physical therapy. Doctors sometimes choose to prescribe this medication for 'off-label' uses. For example, it is often considered to treat fibromyalgia, tinnitus, insomnia, and both migraine and tension headaches. The medicine can improve sleep and pain control for patients with these conditions.
