Can I take cyclobenziprine 5mg & Melxicam 15 together at bedtime for lower back pain?  I have chronic pain from degenerative disc disease & my back is usually \"under control\" with exercise & being aware of how I move.  However, occasionally it will become very painful.  In the morning, I take Synthroid 25mcg  for a recently diagnosed thyroid problem....Thank You!
Hi, Thank you for your question. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant whereas meloxicam is an anti-inflammatory medication. Both have different mechanisms of action. Use of these medications particularly cyclobenzaprine for long periods is not recommended. Occasional use of these to keep pain under control is fine. However, it is recommended that you consult your doctor before starting any new medication as the close monitoring is needed for side effects. Hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have further questions.
