Medication Safety Issues

Sound-alike/look-alike issues:

Cyclobenzaprine may be confused with cycloSERINE, cyproheptadine

Flexeril may be confused with Floxin

Geriatric Patients: High-Risk Medication:

Beers Criteria: Cyclobenzaprine is identified in the Beers Criteria as a potentially inappropriate medication to be avoided in patients 65 years and older (independent of diagnosis or condition) because most muscle relaxants are poorly tolerated in older adults due to anticholinergic effects caused by some muscle relaxants, risk of sedation, and an increased risk of fracture. Cyclobenzaprine has strong anticholinergic properties. In addition, efficacy is questionable at doses tolerated by geriatric patients (Beers Criteria [AGS 2019]).

Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA): Cyclobenzaprine (as a single agent or as part of a combination product) is identified as a high-risk medication in patients 65 years and older on the PQA?s, Use of High-Risk Medications in the Elderly (HRM) performance measure, a safety measure used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for Medicare plans (PQA 2017).
