Cyclobenzaprine (5mg) is a medication primarily used as a muscle relaxant to help relieve muscle spasms and associated pain. Here's some information about cyclobenzaprine:

• Mechanism of Action: Cyclobenzaprine works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasms. It is thought to exert its effects by inhibiting the release of certain neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, from the brainstem and descending spinal cord neurons. This leads to muscle relaxation and relief of muscle spasms.

• Dosage: The usual dosage of cyclobenzaprine is 5mg to 10mg, taken orally three times daily. The maximum recommended dose is 30mg per day. The dosage may be adjusted based on the individual's response to treatment and tolerability.

• Indications: Cyclobenzaprine is indicated for the relief of muscle spasms associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain or muscle strains. It is often used as a short-term adjunct to rest and physical therapy for the management of muscle spasms.
