A member asked:
Is there any difference between flexeril and zanaflex (tizanidine) for low back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) differs from the other centrally acting agents because it is structurally and pharmacologically related to amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant. . Tizanidine is the drug of choice for muscle spasm. Always consult your doctor for your individual needs.
