Methocarbamol and cyclobenzaprine dosages vary based on individual needs and medical history. Always follow your doctor’s prescription instructions precisely. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician.
Methocarbamol Dosage
Methocarbamol typically comes in tablets or intravenous solutions. Oral dosages usually range from 500 mg to 1500 mg every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 3000mg per day. Intravenous administration requires strict adherence to medical guidelines. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose and rate of administration for intravenous use.
Cyclobenzaprine Dosage
Cyclobenzaprine is available as tablets and usually starts at a dose of 5-10mg three times a day. The maximum daily dose generally does not exceed 30mg. Your doctor may adjust your dose depending on your response and tolerance. Extended-release formulations allow for once-daily administration.
Both medications require careful consideration of potential drug interactions. Inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
