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.
