Cyclobenzaprine for acute muscle pain

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking cyclobenzaprine it is important that your physician or pharmacist knows:

• If you are pregnant, trying for a baby, or breast-feeding.
• If you have had a heart attack or you have any other heart problems.
• If you have epilepsy or have ever had a fit (seizure).
• If you have liver or kidney problems.
• If you have an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
• If you have a condition which makes it difficult for you to pass urine (urinary retention).
• If you have raised pressure in your eye (glaucoma).
• If you are taking, or have recently stopped taking, a type of antidepressant medicine known as a monoamine-oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).
• If you are taking or using any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription as well as herbal and complementary medicines.
• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine.
