A member asked:

Is it ok to take ibuprofen and flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) together?

Dr. Nicholas Mexas answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

It's safe: These two medications have different mechanisms of action and have no known significant interactions. In fact, they are commonly used together as part of medical therapy to treat acute musculoskeletal conditions which cause pain and associated muscle spasm.
