FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM

How FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM Works

• FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM is a topical muscle relaxant designed to alleviate muscle spasms and associated pain. It achieves its therapeutic effect through a combination of active ingredients that work synergistically to target different aspects of the pain pathway.
• The primary active ingredient, Cyclobenzaprine, is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. Unlike some muscle relaxants that directly affect the muscles themselves, Cyclobenzaprine works within the central nervous system (CNS), specifically the brain and spinal cord. It is believed to reduce muscle spasm activity by influencing motor neurons. Motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, instructing them to contract. Cyclobenzaprine is thought to enhance the effects of serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that play a role in regulating muscle tone and pain perception. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters, Cyclobenzaprine helps to reduce the excitability of motor neurons, thereby decreasing muscle spasms.
• The gel formulation of FLEXABENZ GEL allows for direct application to the affected area. This targeted delivery minimizes systemic absorption and reduces the risk of side effects compared to oral medications. When applied topically, the gel penetrates the skin and delivers the active ingredient directly to the underlying muscle tissue.
• The topical application also provides a cooling or soothing effect, further contributing to pain relief. The gel base itself may contain ingredients that enhance absorption and provide a comforting sensation. This combination of direct muscle relaxation, central nervous system modulation, and localized soothing effects makes FLEXABENZ GEL an effective treatment for acute muscle spasms and associated discomfort.
• In summary, FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM works by: 1) Reducing muscle spasm activity in the central nervous system through Cyclobenzaprine's influence on neurotransmitters. 2) Delivering the active ingredient directly to the affected muscle tissue via topical application. 3) Providing a cooling or soothing sensation for additional pain relief. This multi-faceted approach helps to alleviate muscle spasms and improve patient comfort.

While FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM is applied topically, systemic absorption can lead to side effects similar to oral cyclobenzaprine, though generally less severe. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, and headache. Less common side effects could involve nausea, constipation, blurred vision, nervousness, confusion, skin irritation (such as redness, itching, or rash at the application site), and, rarely, allergic reactions. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

• As FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM is for external use only, chances of missing a dose are minimal. However, if you forget to apply it at the usual time, apply it as soon as you remember. Then, continue your next application at the regularly scheduled time.

• Keep FLEXABENZ GEL 30GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store FLEXABENZ GEL 30GM at room temperature.

• FLEXABENZ GEL 30 GM is for external use only. Therefore, food is unlikely to affect its action. However, it is advisable to avoid applying the gel to areas of skin that might come into direct contact with food, to prevent any potential contamination.
