What is a NDC Code?

Detailed Description
This NDC code represents cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, a prescription muscle relaxant medication. Cyclobenzaprine is commonly prescribed to help relieve muscle spasms and associated pain, typically related to musculoskeletal conditions. It works by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle spasms. This medication is usually taken by mouth and is often prescribed for short-term use alongside rest and physical therapy.
Additional Information
