Muscle Relaxers

How much time does one need off prior to flying after taking AMRIX 15mg or 30mg)? (aka Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride)

The half-life is 32 hours. It will take 5 half lives for it to be totally gone. Wait 48 hours at least.

Thanks

Anything on the market with a shorter half life that would just as effective?

Muscle relaxants really just sedate you and do little to relax muscle spasms. Ibuprofen 800 mg three times a day and a nice warm bath are better.

Thanks again Doc. I've been doing the later since I was afraid to take the muscle relaxers before talking to you.
