The nurse provides teaching to a patient who will begin taking cyclobenzaprine
(Flexeril) to treat acute muscle spasms. Which statement by the patient indicates a need
for further teaching?
“I will take this medication for 3 months and then stop taking it.”
Most centrally acting muscle relaxants used for acute spasms are taken for no
longer than 3 weeks and should be tapered over 1 week to avoid rebound spasms.
Patients may experience dizziness and drowsiness. Alcohol will compound the
central nervous system sedative effects. To decrease gastrointestinal upset, the
nurse should counsel the patient to take it with food.
