What Do These Physical Attributes Of The Pills Indicate?

I have been prescribed Flexiril after knee replacement. I also take a Yellow pill for blood pressure. I take both of these in the a.m. We went away for 1 month, & I filled my pill boxes for the month & left my containers at home. I hate the feeling of taking Flexiril....so tires all the time & extreme dry mouth, so I want to stop it until I get home, but I don t know which yellow pill is the Flexiril. On one the number 10 is on one side &283 on the other. The other tablet is 40 & looks like it has a word but I con t read it. Could you help me with this?

Hi,

Yes, certain of side effects you mentioned may be attributed to Flexeril. Tablet Flexeril is the one which is round, yellow and has an imprint of 10 on one side and 283 on another side.

So what you mentioned is Flexeril. You may stop it however its always better to ask your doctor before any change in the prescription.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
