Trouble urinating

About Flexeril
Flexeril is a skeletal muscle relaxant. Like other skeletal muscle relaxants, it blocks nerve impulses (pain sensation) sent to your brain to relax muscles.
Flexeril is used with rest and physical therapy to treat skeletal muscle conditions, including pain, muscle injuries, and muscle spasms. Flexeril is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation under brand names, including cyclobenzaprine.
Flexeril may be prescribed as a tablet or capsule. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Flexeril, be sure to complete the full course of the muscle relaxant unless your healthcare professional specifically tells you to stop. The muscle relaxant may not fully treat your muscle spasms if you don't complete your prescription.
Flexeril uses
There are several FDA-approved uses for Flexeril, but your healthcare provider may also prescribe it off-label to treat other medical conditions.
Your PlushCare doctor may prescribe Flexeril for the following reasons or other reasons not listed here. Ask your online doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about why a medication is prescribed.
Muscle spasms
Flexeril is FDA-approved as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for the relief of muscle spasms associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions. Flexeril tablets should only be taken for short periods (2–3 weeks), as muscle spasm symptoms are generally short-term.
Flexeril side effects
The side effects associated with taking Flexeril are typically mild. Most Flexeril side effects are associated with drowsiness.
Flexeril has some common side effects. They may include:Drowsiness and tiredness
Headache and dizziness
Upset stomach, nausea, and constipation
Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:Fast or irregular heartbeat
Chest pain sensations
Numbness or weakness, especially on one side of your body
Tell your doctor if you notice any adverse effects or develop other new or concerning symptoms. Seek medical help immediately if you experience any symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as agitation, hallucinations, fast heart rate, or muscle stiffness.
The use of Flexeril in young children under age 15 is not advised.
How to take Flexeril
