How Cyclobenzaprine ER 15 mg Works

Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants and works by:

1. Acting centrally on the brainstem to reduce tonic somatic motor activity

2. Blocking nerve impulses (pain sensations) sent to the brain

3. Reducing muscle hyperactivity without directly acting on skeletal muscles

This makes it ideal for treating muscle tightness, spasms, and associated pain.

Dosage and Administration

CBENZPRIME ER 15 should be taken at the same time daily, preferably with food to reduce stomach upset.
