What Is Fexmid (Cyclobenzaprine)?
Fexmid is the brand name for the generic medication cyclobenzaprine. It's used in the treatment of muscle spasms and musculoskeletal conditions of sudden onset. It is not an effective treatment for chronic conditions, and is often only prescribed for use over a short span of time not exceeding more than a few weeks.
Fexmid FAQs
How Does Fexmid Work?
What Is The Recommended Fexmid Dosage and Treatment?
Fexmid is not a chronic or maintenance medication, so it can't be used to treat long term conditions like cerebral palsy. Your doctor will likely only prescribe the medication for a short period of time until the spasms subside. Use of Fexmid for periods longer than 2-3 weeks is highly discouraged.
Do not exceed the prescribed dosage amount, and do not change the dosage schedule as instructed by your doctor. If you feel that you might need to extend the prescription to achieve optimal results, consult your doctor and inquire whether it would be possible to continue the use of Fexmid for your case.
The dosage amount for Fexmid changes from person to person. Depending on your condition, your doctor might prescribe an initial dose of 5 mg, three times a day. For more severe cases, doctors may increase the dose from 5 mg to 7.5 or 10 mg, three times daily.
For individuals who are hepatically impaired or for elderly patients, the dosage frequency may be adjusted to just twice daily. The specific schedule or time of each intake may vary.
