Frequently asked questions

What does Chlorzoxazone treat?

Chlorzoxazone (Chlorzoxazone) may be used to treat muscle cramp, muscle rigidity, myositis, pain, spasm, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Chlorzoxazone work?

Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant. Most muscle relaxants work in the brain and spinal cord rather than on the muscle itself: they damp down the overactive nerve signals and reflexes that keep muscles tense, easing spasms and tightness. Some specialized agents instead act directly on muscle calcium release.

How is Chlorzoxazone rated?

pharmaranks gives Chlorzoxazone a composite score of 3.7 out of 5, currently based on 1 weighted source (FDA regulatory recall-safety data weighted highest). See our methodology at /how-we-rate.

How much does Chlorzoxazone cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $16.17 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Amrix — about $0.63 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Chlorzoxazone?
