A member asked:

How long does flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on lots..: Length of effectiveness depends on many factors...Pill strength, how often have you used the drug (getting used to it), time of day, have you eaten with it and other meds you may be taking. All of these will factor in the equation.
