Cyclobenzaprine 10mg And Heart Health

Updated

If this drug cyclobenzaprine (10mg) is a muscle relaxer and the heart is a muscle, if I'm taking 1 at a time, is there any danger in harming my heart muscle? If so, what does it take to harm this muscle?

In order for it do harm to the heart, per se, you'd have to either have a very bad reaction to it, or overdose on it, by taking too much.

Otherwise, yes it is a muscle relaxant and, as such, it can cause depression of the central nervous system, which includes the heart, so it may cause your heart to slow down slightly. This is usually not significant in healthy individuals, with normal heart function.

However, you should check with your doctor, to make sure it is safe for you to take it, especially if you've had any type of cardiac problem.
