Flexagil 10mg Tablet

Flexagil 10mg Tablet is a tablet made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd that contains Cyclobenzaprine 10mg, a centrally acting muscle relaxant. It is used for muscle spasm from strains and sprains. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Flexagil 10mg Tablet

Flexagil 10mg Tablet is used together with rest and physiotherapy for short-term relief of muscle spasm caused by sudden, painful muscle conditions such as back strain, neck strain and sprains. It helps reduce stiffness, tenderness and limited movement. It is not effective for spasm caused by brain or spinal cord conditions, such as cerebral palsy, and is not meant for long-term use.

How Flexagil 10mg Tablet works

Cyclobenzaprine acts mainly on the brainstem rather than directly on the muscles. It reduces the activity of the nerves that keep a muscle tight, so the spasm eases. It is chemically related to tricyclic antidepressants, which explains its drowsiness and drying side effects.

Possible side effects

Flexagil 10mg Tablet often causes drowsiness. Other common side effects include:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Headache
• Constipation

Get urgent help for a fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, confusion, or agitation with fever, shaking and sweating, which may be serotonin syndrome.

Precautions and warnings

• It is meant for short-term use only, for the period your doctor prescribes.
• Do not take it with MAOI antidepressants, and tell your doctor if you take other antidepressants, tramadol or other medicines that affect serotonin.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, a recent heart attack, an irregular heartbeat, an overactive thyroid, glaucoma or difficulty passing urine.
• Avoid alcohol and other sedatives, and do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy.
• Older people are more sensitive to its effects, and you should ask your doctor before using it during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
