Reinhard Reuss et al.
Pharmacology, 84(2), 91-92 (2009-07-11)
The muscle-relaxing 5-HT(2) receptor antagonist cyclobenzaprine is structurally closely related to amitriptyline. It is widely used to treat patients presenting with back pain and fibromyalgia. Very rarely cyclobenzaprine toxicity can result in extrapyramidal symptoms, but occurrence of torticollis has not

The link between cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) administration and serotonin syndrome (SS) is subject to debate. Establishing such a connection is difficult because of the limited number of case reports available and the almost complete ignorance of its preclinical pharmacology. In this

Cyclobenzaprine immediate-release (CIR) is a widely prescribed skeletal muscle relaxant with an established efficacy and safety profile in patients with muscle spasm associated with acute, painful conditions, although it is commonly associated with sedation. CIR is typically prescribed at a

We compared pain severity and time to resumption of activities in patients with cervical strains treated with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), a centrally acting muscle relaxant or both. We performed a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of adults with cervical

The American journal of emergency medicine, 29(6), 645-649 (2010-09-10)
The cyclobenzaprine structure is similar to amitriptyline; however, tricyclic antidepressant (TCA)-like wide complex dysrhythmia has not been reported. Our objective was to determine the incidence of TCA-like effects in cyclobenzaprine overdoses as reported to 6 poison centers for 2 years.
