Flexeril Prescription Online

Flexeril - Overview

Flexeril was a brand of cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant sometimes used for short-term relief of muscle spasms along with rest and physical therapy. While branded Flexeril medication is no longer available, generic cyclobenzaprine is still available. People who might need a prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe generic versions of medication when appropriate to do so.

What Was Flexeril Used For?

Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally-acting skeletal-muscle relaxant sometimes prescribed to reduce local muscle spasms. Related short-term options include metaxalone (Skelaxin) and methocarbamol (Robaxin). It is not a long-term, daily medication and does not treat spasticity from MS or spinal cord injury. For more details on the available generic version of the medication, refer to the cyclobenzaprine page.

Flexeril - Dosage and Cost

Common immediate-release versions of the medication are prescribed as 5 mg three times per day. Some prescribers may increase to 10 mg in certain patients and treatment duration is usually limited to 2-3 weeks. Extended-release versions do exist as well.

Generic versions of the medication are affordable, costing approximately 25 cents per 5 mg tablet at many pharmacies. Prescription discount cards may be available and insurance will sometimes help cover medication costs.
