Usually, starting dosage is 5mg (three times daily) for up to 2-3 weeks. Each dose may be increased to 10mg if your doctor believes it necessary.
Ativan (a benzodiazepine sedative) and Flexeril (a skeletal muscle relaxant) can be taken together, but it will cause increased drowsiness, so you may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if your dosage needs to be decreased.
The usual dosage of gelfoam is anywhere under 50 grams per day. Anything over 50 grams per day can prove to be unsafe and in some cases, lethal.
I am confused. What is the difference between somacid, flexeril, carisoprodol and cyclobenzaprine? I realize that one or more can be brand names, but what is what? Is dosage the same for all names? I've only heard about 350 mg. Thank you
No. But, you should be careful to follow the dosage instructions which accompany any medication.
It gave me horrible depression in late 2007, after I increased from a very low dosage. Almost 24/7 sad thoughts, worthless feelings, etc., etc I was close to being suicidal. It took me quite a few days to figure out it was the flexeril causing it. No joke.
usual dosage for adults is 25 mg, three to four times a day. For children over six years of age, the usual dosage 50-100 mg per day, divided into several small doses. The usual dosage for children under six years of age is 50 mg per day
The usual dosage for adults is 20 mg, four times a day. However, the physician may recommend starting at a lower dosage and gradually increasing the dose to reduce the chance of unwanted side effects.
Yes, it just makes you more sleepy. just be careful with the dosage. Don't take more than your doctor prescribes. If you have questions about dosage, call your pharmacist. I was prescribed flexeril, klonopin and fioricet (butalbital/apap/caff) and the pharmacist said I can take all three but that I would be extra drowsy. I find it just helps me sleep as well as takes away my migraines. Be safe and good luck!
The usual oral dosage is 300-500 mg each day; the usual dosage of an injection is 100-250 mg, administered two to three times each day.
yes, but the strength is much much weaker. in order to get the proper effect you should take 10-20 times the recommended dosage. this is perfectly o.k. to do.
Yes, there is no problem in taking those 2 drugs together. If you get drowsiness with Zyrtec, this might be enhanced in taking it with Flexeril, but it is quite rare to get sleepy with Zyrtec (but this is a major side effect of Flexeril).
Yes, Lyrica (pregabalin) and Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) can be taken together, but it should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Both medications can cause sedation and may enhance each other's side effects, such as dizziness or drowsiness. Therefore, it's important to consult your doctor to ensure safety and appropriate dosage.
