Flexabenz
Cyclobenzaprine belongs to the ‘muscle relaxant’ class of drugs, which are used to treat muscle spasms and excessive muscle tension caused by a variety of disorders. Muscle spasms are unpleasant and inconvenient muscle contractions that occur suddenly and without warning. Muscle spasms can occur when nerve impulses that govern muscle action are disrupted or stopped.
Flexabenz contains ‘cyclobenzaprine,’ which helps reduce pain and improve muscular movements by acting on the central nervous system at the brain stem and alleviating muscle spasm. Flexabenz works on the brain and spinal cord to preserve muscle strength and relieve muscle spasms and stiffness.
Flexabenz should be taken with food. Depending on your medical condition, you should take Flexabenz for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. You may suffer common side effects like blurred vision, dizziness, sleepiness, or lightheadedness, as well as mouth dryness. The majority of these adverse effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will subside with time. However, if you are experiencing these adverse effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.
Flexabenz should not be stopped suddenly because it might cause unpleasant side effects as rigidity, elevated heart rate, mood swings, fever, mental disorders, confusion, hallucinations, and fits (seizures). If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before using Flexabenz. Flexabenz will only be prescribed by your doctor if the benefits outweigh the hazards. Flexabenz is not advised for children under the age of 15. To rule out any undesirable side effects, tell your doctor about all of your present medications and your health condition. If you are experiencing mood swings, depression, or suicidal thoughts, please contact your doctor right once.

Advice on Diet and Lifestyle
Regular exercise helps to stretch muscles, making them less likely to spasm, tear, or sprain. Muscle stretching can be accomplished through light exercises such as jogging and walking.
Massages are also beneficial.
Extreme cold and hot temperatures should be avoided.
Wear loose-fitting clothing instead than tight-fitting clothing.
Get plenty of rest, at least 8 hours of sleep.
Change your position at least every two hours to avoid developing pressure sores.
Muscle spasms can be treated with either hot or cold therapy. For 15-20 minutes, apply an ice pack or a heat pack to the muscle.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
