ER — Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride
📦 Product Overview
🌿 What Is Skelebenz 15 mg ER (Cyclobenzaprine)?
Skelebenz 15 mg ER contains Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride, a centrally-acting skeletal muscle relaxant structurally related to tricyclic antidepressants. It modulates serotonergic activity within the central nervous system to reduce muscle hyperactivity associated with acute musculoskeletal conditions, such as sprains, strains, and recent injuries, providing relief from painful muscle spasms.
The extended-release formulation allows for once-daily dosing, ensuring steady plasma levels and sustained symptom relief. It is recommended for short-term use (up to 2–3 weeks) as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy.
