A member asked:

17 month old breastfeeding once a day. was prescribed flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) for 3 days. doc said its ok, but read other docs do not recommend. is it okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is: FDA pregnancy category B: Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Keep in mind, most medications during pregnancy and breast feeding are in this category.
