Muscle Relaxation: Cyclobenzaprine and its metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine, primarily work by inhibiting muscle spasms and promoting muscle relaxation. This can help alleviate muscle stiffness, tension, and pain associated with conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, or musculoskeletal injuries.
Pain Relief: By reducing muscle spasms and tension, cyclobenzaprine and norcyclobenzaprine may indirectly alleviate pain associated with muscle-related conditions.
Fibromyalgia: Cyclobenzaprine is sometimes used off-label to manage symptoms of fibromyalgia, a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in specific areas of the body. The muscle-relaxing properties of cyclobenzaprine may help reduce pain and improve sleep quality in some individuals with fibromyalgia.
Central Nervous System Depression: Cyclobenzaprine and its metabolite may cause sedation and drowsiness, which can impair cognitive and motor function. Therefore, it's essential to use caution when operating machinery or engaging in activities that require alertness until the effects of the medication are known.
Adverse Effects: Common side effects associated with cyclobenzaprine therapy, which may also occur with norcyclobenzaprine use, include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. Less common but potentially serious side effects include cardiac arrhythmias, serotonin syndrome (when used in combination with other serotonergic drugs), and anticholinergic effects.
Drug Interactions: Cyclobenzaprine and its metabolite may interact with other medications, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and certain opioids, potentially leading to adverse effects or reduced efficacy.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
