Dosage Details For Amrix
Amrix (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride) is a prescription oral capsule that's used to treat muscle spasms. It's usually taken once per day for up to 3 weeks.
Amrix is used in adults to treat certain types of muscle spasms. If you need short-term relief from a muscle spasm caused by a musculoskeletal condition such as a muscle strain, your doctor may prescribe Amrix. It's used along with rest and physical therapy.
The active ingredient in Amrix is cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. (An active ingredient is what makes a drug work.) Amrix belongs to a group of drugs called muscle relaxants.
This article describes the dosages of Amrix, as well as its strengths and how to take it. To learn more about Amrix, see this in-depth article.
Note: Amrix is not prescribed for muscle spasms related to diseases of the brain and spinal cord, such as cerebral palsy.
The table below highlights the typical dosage of Amrix. The dosage is given in milligrams (mg).
Keep reading for more details about Amrix's dosage.
What is Amrix's form?Amrix is available as an extended-release capsule that you take by mouth. "Extended-release" means the drug is slowly released into your body over a period of time.
What strengths does Amrix come in?Amrix comes in two strengths: 15 mg and 30 mg.
What are the usual dosages of Amrix?The information below describes dosages that are commonly used or recommended. But be sure to take the dosage your doctor prescribes for you. They'll determine the best dosage to fit your needs.
Dosage for muscle spasmsThe typical Amrix dosage for adults with muscle spasms from musculoskeletal conditions is 15 mg once per day.
But some people may need a dosage of 30 mg once per day to control their spasms. This dosage may be prescribed using two 15-mg capsules or a single 30-mg capsule.
Amrix is usually prescribed in combination with rest and physical therapy.
Is Amrix used long term?No, Amrix is not used long term. It should only be used for up to 2 or 3 weeks.
The dosage of Amrix you're prescribed may depend on several factors. These include:
Amrix is available as an oral capsule. Here are a few tips for taking Amrix capsules:
* Don't use another food instead of applesauce. The drug manufacturer did not test other foods for this use.
Accessible drug containers and labelsSome pharmacies provide medication labels that:
Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to recommend pharmacies that offer these accessibility features if your current pharmacy doesn't.
Let your pharmacist know if you have trouble opening medication bottles. They may have tips to help, or they may be able to supply Amrix in an easy-open container.
If you miss a dose of Amrix, take it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at its usual time. If you're not sure whether you should take a missed dose, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
If you need help remembering to take your dose of Amrix on time, try using a medication reminder. This can include setting an alarm or downloading a reminder app on your phone.
Do not take more Amrix than your doctor prescribes, as this can lead to harmful effects.
Effects of overdoseEffects of an overdose of Amrix can include:
What to do in case you take too much AmrixCall your doctor right away if you think you've taken too much Amrix. You can also call 800-222-1222 to reach America's Poison Centers or use its online resource. But if you have severe symptoms, immediately call 911 (or your local emergency number) or go to the nearest emergency room.
It isn't known if Amrix may cause withdrawal and dependence. But its chemical structure is similar to other drugs that may cause these problems.
Because of this, Amrix should only be used for 2–3 weeks. When used short term in this way, Amrix is less likely to cause physical dependence. Physical dependence occurs when your body relies on a drug to function as usual. Taking Amrix for longer periods may lead to physical dependence.
If you suddenly stop taking Amrix after taking it long term, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. These are side effects that can occur when you stop taking a drug that your body has become dependent on.
Examples of withdrawal symptoms include:
If you want to learn more about potential withdrawal symptoms after you stop taking Amrix, talk with your doctor.
Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about Amrix's dosage.
How does the dosage of Amrix compare with the dosage of Flexeril?Amrix and Flexeril are muscle relaxants that contain the same active ingredient: cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. And both drugs are recommended for short-term use (3 weeks or less). But the dosages of these drugs differ.
Amrix comes as an extended-release capsule. "Extended-release" means the drug is slowly released into your body over a period of time. Because Amrix is an extended-release drug, it's typically prescribed to be taken once per day.
Flexeril, on the other hand, is an immediate-release tablet. It's released into your body right after you take it. Because Flexeril is an immediate-release tablet, it's typically prescribed to be taken 3 times per day.
The dosages of each drug in milligrams also differ.
For more information on how these drugs compare, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Note: Flexeril is no longer available. Its manufacturer discontinued its production. However, the immediate-release generic cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is available.
Can Amrix be used for fibromyalgia? If so, what's the dosage?Amrix is not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to treat fibromyalgia. But in some cases, your doctor may prescribe it off-label for this use. (With off-label use, doctors prescribe a drug for a purpose other than what it's approved for.)
The active ingredient in Amrix is cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride. (An active ingredient is what makes a drug work.) Studies such as this one have shown that cyclobenzaprine may help improve certain symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as pain.
Because Amrix isn't approved for fibromyalgia, the manufacturer doesn't provide recommended dosages for this use. If your doctor prescribes Amrix to treat fibromyalgia, they will determine the dosage that's right for you.
To learn more about your treatment options for fibromyalgia, including Amrix, talk with your doctor.
The sections above describe the usual dosages provided by Amrix's manufacturer. If your doctor recommends this drug, they'll prescribe the dosage that's right for you.
Remember, you should not change your dosage of Amrix without your doctor's recommendation. Only take Amrix exactly as prescribed. Talk with your doctor if you have questions or concerns about your current dosage.
Here are some examples of questions you may want to ask your doctor:

Baclofen Vs. Cyclobenzaprine: Similarities And Differences
Medically reviewed by Femi Aremu, PharmD
Baclofen and cyclobenzaprine are prescription skeletal muscle relaxants used to relieve muscle spasms due to certain muscular injuries or conditions.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved baclofen to reduce muscle spasms due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. Cyclobenzaprine is approved to relieve muscle spasms due to muscle injuries.
Both medications come in orally administered (taken by mouth) tablets. However, baclofen is also available in other oral and injectable forms. Cyclobenzaprine is available as a generic and under the brand name Amrix, an extended-release form. Baclofen is sold under several brands, including Fleqsuvy, Lyvispah, and Ozobax DS.
Although both drugs are considered skeletal muscle relaxants, there are several notable differences between the two. This article will highlight the similarities and differences between baclofen and cyclobenzaprine.

What Is Baclofen?Baclofen is a skeletal muscle relaxant approved by the FDA to relieve muscle spasms due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury.
Baclofen is available in the following dosage forms:
Oral tablet
Oral suspension (a type of liquid)
Intrathecal injection (an injection into the cerebrospinal fluid)
The oral forms of baclofen are approved for use in adults and children ages 12 years and older. The intrathecal injection may be used in adults and children ages 4 years and older.
Baclofen is a generic medication. However, it's also available in the following brand-name forms:
Fleqsuvy oral suspension
Gablofen intrathecal injection
Lioresal intrathecal injection
Lyvispah oral granules
Ozobax DS oral solution (a type of liquid)
This article will focus on the baclofen dosage forms available as generics.
Baclofen Off-label UsesSometimes, healthcare providers may prescribe baclofen to treat conditions or at doses that differ from what the drug was initially approved for. This is called an off-label use.
Baclofen may be used off-label for the following goals:
How It WorksBaclofen acts on nerves in your spinal cord to help relax muscles. This results in fewer and less severe muscle spasms.
What Is Cyclobenzaprine?Like baclofen, cyclobenzaprine is a prescription skeletal muscle relaxant. However, its uses and dosage forms differ somewhat from baclofen.
Flexeril was a brand name for the generic drug cyclobenzaprine oral tablet. However, the brand-name version is no longer available.
Cyclobenzaprine is also available as an extended-release oral capsule. It is available in a generic version and the brand-name Amrix.
This article will focus on the cyclobenzaprine oral tablet, the discontinued Flexeril's generic form.
Cyclobenzaprine oral tablet is used along with rest and physical therapy to reduce muscle spasms due to muscle injuries, such as muscle strains (a pulled muscle) or sprains (an injury to ligaments).
It's approved for use in adults and children ages 15 years and older.
Cyclobenzaprine Off-Label UsesCyclobenzaprine may be used off-label to treat the following:
Certain symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (a mental health disorder that arises after experiencing or witnessing a tragic event or series of events)
Myofascial pain (a long-term pain condition that involves muscles and the fascia, the thin tissue that covers and supports muscles)
Trouble sleeping due to fibromyalgia (a condition of widespread, chronic pain)
Cyclobenzaprine does not work directly on the muscles. Instead, it works by slowing down activity in your central nervous system (CNS), which consists of your brain and spinal cord.
Researchers believe that your body may produce muscle spasms after an injury to prevent specific muscles from moving, thereby avoiding further damage to the area.
By slowing down activity in your CNS, cyclobenzaprine reduces signals from your brain that promote muscle spasms. This results in more relaxed muscles.
Baclofen vs. Cyclobenzaprine: Main DifferencesThe table below outlines key differences between baclofen and cyclobenzaprine.
Baclofen
Cyclobenzaprine
Uses
Relieve muscle spasms due to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury
Relieve muscle spasms due to muscle injuries
Dosage forms
Oral tablet Oral suspension Intrathecal injection
Oral tablet
Dosage
Oral forms: 5 milligrams (mg) three times per day to 20 mg four times per day Injection: 90 micrograms (mcg) to 800 mcg per day
5 mg, 7.5 mg, or 10 mg three times per day
Precautions
Can take with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) Caution advised with kidney conditions
Should not take with MAOIs or SSRIs Caution advised with liver conditions
Dosage: How to Take Baclofen and CyclobenzaprineBelow are the recommended dosages for baclofen and cyclobenzaprine. Keep in mind that your healthcare provider will prescribe a dosage specific for your condition. It's important to follow their instructions carefully.
Baclofen DosageThe dosage of baclofen varies based on the drug form you take or use.
Dosage for oral forms of baclofen
Oral forms of baclofen are typically taken three times daily. Your healthcare provider may start you at a low dose of 5 mg three times daily. If needed, they may gradually increase your dosage by 5 mg per dose every three days until you have the desired effect.
The maximum dose of oral forms of baclofen is 80 mg per day. If you take this 80 mg dose daily, your healthcare provider will likely recommend you take 20 mg four times a day.
Dosage for baclofen intrathecal injection
A healthcare provider must administer a Baclofen intrathecal injection. The injection is typically given in your back.
Before a baclofen intrathecal injection, your healthcare provider will give you a screening injection of 50 mcg and observe your response. Further screening doses may be given if the response is less than desired.
If this dose is safe and effective for you, your healthcare provider will adjust your dose, as follows, based on the cause and severity of your muscle spasms:
Baclofen injection and oral forms may be used long term.
Cyclobenzaprine DosageLike oral forms of baclofen, the cyclobenzaprine tablet is also taken three times per day.
Your healthcare provider will likely have you start taking 5 mg of cyclobenzaprine three times per day. If needed, they may increase your dose to 7.5 mg or 10 mg three times daily.
Cyclobenzaprine is not typically used long-term. The recommended length of treatment is two to three weeks.
Can You Take Baclofen and Cyclobenzaprine Together?It's best not to take baclofen and cyclobenzaprine together. Both baclofen and cyclobenzaprine can slow down activity in your CNS. This may lead to side effects such as sleepiness, dizziness, or fatigue.
Taking both medications together may increase your risk of side effects or worsen them.
If your healthcare provider prescribes baclofen and cyclobenzaprine together, they may prescribe a lower dose of either medication. They'll also monitor you for signs of increased side effects.
Which Is More Effective?Which muscle relaxant, baclofen or cyclobenzaprine, is more effective depends on factors such as the condition you're treating.
Baclofen is considered a first choice for treating muscle spasms caused by spinal cord injury. Studies have shown that baclofen is more effective at reducing muscle spasms and improving muscle tone than placebo (inactive medication) in up to 72% of study participants.
In studies of people taking cyclobenzaprine for back pain, participants who took cyclobenzaprine were five times more likely to have improvement in symptoms, including muscle spasms, compared with those taking placebo.
Safety and Side EffectsLike all medications, baclofen and cyclobenzaprine may cause side effects in some people. Most side effects of these medications are mild and don't require medical attention.
However, if you experience very bothersome or severe side effects from baclofen or cyclobenzaprine, inform your healthcare provider immediately. They may adjust your dosage or recommend a different treatment for your condition.
Common Side Effects of BaclofenCommon side effects of baclofen include:
Dizziness
Fatigue
Sleepiness
Weakness
Some common side effects of cyclobenzaprine include:
In rare cases, baclofen and cyclobenzaprine may cause severe side effects.
Severe Side Effects of BaclofenSevere side effects of baclofen can include:
Severe Side Effects of CyclobenzaprineSevere side effects of cyclobenzaprine can include:
Shared Side EffectsBaclofen and cyclobenzaprine may have different side effects, but some are similar. Side effects that are shared by the two drugs include:
Sleepiness
Dizziness
Fatigue
Fainting
Before starting treatment with baclofen or cyclobenzaprine, it's important to be aware of precautions if your healthcare provider prescribes either of these medications.
Precautions include:
Do not stop taking baclofen suddenly. Doing so can increase your risk of hallucinations and seizures. If you and your healthcare provider decide you should stop taking baclofen, your provider will gradually decrease your dose to lower your risk of having seizures or hallucinations.
If you have a kidney condition, your healthcare provider may prescribe a lower baclofen dose.
You should not take cyclobenzaprine if you have had a recent heart attack or have other heart conditions, such as irregular heart rhythm or congestive heart failure (CHF).
You should not take cyclobenzaprine if you have hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland).
If you have a liver condition, your healthcare provider may prescribe a lower dose of cyclobenzaprine.
Because baclofen and cyclobenzaprine both slow down the activity in CNS, they have some similar drug interactions.
For example, both baclofen and cyclobenzaprine can interact with alcohol and opioid pain medication, such as:
In addition, cyclobenzaprine has interactions with the following types of drugs:
Baclofen does not interact with MAOIs or SSRIs.
It's important to let your healthcare provider know all the medications you take before you start baclofen or cyclobenzaprine treatment.
These lists do not include all possible drug interactions for baclofen or cyclobenzaprine. If you have questions about drug interactions, your pharmacist or other healthcare provider can help.
SummaryBaclofen and cyclobenzaprine are both skeletal muscle relaxants that are FDA-approved to relieve muscle spasms due to certain nerve or spinal cord-related conditions or muscle injuries. Differences between the two include their uses, dosages and dosage forms, and ages for approved uses.
Although both drugs are muscle relaxants, baclofen is used for muscle spasms related to multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. Cyclobenzaprine is more often used to relieve muscle spasms due to muscle injuries.
Baclofen is available in several dosage forms, including an oral tablet and intrathecal injection. Cyclobenzaprine only comes as an oral tablet. Baclofen oral forms are approved for use in adults and children 12 years and older. The injection may be used in adults and children as young as 4 years of age.
Cyclobenzaprine oral tablet is approved for use in adults and children ages 15 years and older.
Both baclofen and cyclobenzaprine have some similar as well as different side effects and drug interactions. Talk with your healthcare provider to learn which medication is right for you.
