Flexyhel (Cyclobenzaprine HCL 5mg)

Flexyhel (Cyclobenzaprine HCL 5mg) is a muscle relaxant commonly used to treat muscle spasms and associated pain.

✅ Common Uses of Flexyhel (Cyclobenzaprine HCL 5mg):

1. Relief of Muscle Spasms:

   • Used to relieve muscle spasms caused by acute musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., strains, sprains, or injuries).

2. Adjunct to Rest and Physical Therapy:

   • Often prescribed along with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments to enhance recovery from muscle injuries.

3. Short-Term Use:

   • Typically used for 2–3 weeks, as its effectiveness for longer use hasn’t been established.

🧠 How It Works:

Cyclobenzaprine acts on the central nervous system (specifically the brainstem) to reduce tonic somatic motor activity, which helps relieve muscle spasms without directly affecting skeletal muscles.
