Question 1

what is the definition or description of: cyclobenzaprine hcl allergy?

Accepted Answer

See below: An allergy describes a systemic response of the body's immune system to an antigen.  The response can cause hives,, itching, swelling, elevation of blood pressure and bronchoconstriction.  An allergy to cyclobenzaprine would basically be any combination of the above reactions in response to the intake of cyclobenzaprine into the body.

Question 2

can the medicine flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Weight gain or appetite change is not listed as one of the side effects or adverse reactions of Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) on the labeling.  In my experience patients do not complain of weight gain while taking this medication. Therefore, it is unlikely to be the cause of any weight gain.

Question 3

hello, i take weekly oral drug tests and they came up clean for years until i was prescribed flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) and now my benzos come back dirty. why is this?

Accepted Answer

Not Soma (carisoprodol)?: Soma metabolite can trigger bdzp screen, possible Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) metabolite as well. Need to ask for information on the test used, and method of confirmation / follow-up testing (first usually qualitative, confirmatory quantitative). If no bdzp ingestion, quantitative testing should report negative.

Question 4

will flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) give you a false positive on a drug test? i have recently been prescribed flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) and took a drug test and i failed it. i do not do drugs and it showed up as thc why is this

Accepted Answer

Through : Through my research on this question, it appears that Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) will not cause a positive thc result. One common medication that causes a false positive thc is ibuprofen. This is found in advil, motrin, and nuprin. So if you have recently taken any of these that may be the problem.
I also recommend that you ask for a copy of the test. Make sure the name, id number, and any other iddentifying information matches up.
Good luck.

Question 5

if i took nucytna 50mg and flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) 10mg can i take my anxiety medicine valium?

Accepted Answer

If: the meds are taken as prescribed yes if you dont need the valium I would hold off as long as possible

Question 6

i am taking the generic for flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) for muscle spasms. is there a safe medicine for long term use.

Accepted Answer

Does it Work?: Flexeral is not recommended for long term use. Generally 2-3 weeks is about the recommended time, especially at age 65. Having said that, there may be a good reason for your doctor to extend the duration time of taking the medication.

Question 7

cyclobenzaprine hcl will it show up in drug testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If they are testing for benzodiazepines, this drug will show up.  Most basic drug testing panels will test for benzodiazepines.  If you inform your doctors of all of your medications, you should be fine. This is a common medication for muscle spasm.

Question 8

will flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) show up on a drug test? informational purposes

Accepted Answer

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) : Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is not a drug that is routinely screened for in standard drug tests. As far as I am aware it will not give a positive screen on a drug test. If anyone else has any other information on this topic please add a comment.
I hope this helps.

Question 9

is flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) a drug that can get you kicked out of military service?

Accepted Answer

Probablly Not: Unless you are obvously sedated or impaired. It may not be compatible with certain duties like being a pilot or in other critical situations. You probably risk some sort of discipline for taking a drug which the military is not aware of, however.

Question 10

i have not took flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) in four days will it show up in a drug test?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The rate of drug elimination from the body is called the half life; it is the time for half of the dosage  to be eliminated.  After two half lives, only 1/4 of the amount will be present.  The half life of cyclobenzaprine ranges fro 8 to 37 hours, and is affected by many other medications  however, cyclobenzaprine is not a drug of  common abuse, and would not likely show up n a drug abuse screen.
