Cyclobenzaprine should be avoided in patients with which condition?
Correct Answer:
Angle-closure glaucoma
Explanation:
The key concept is that cyclobenzaprine has anticholinergic effects that can dilate the pupil and reduce drainage in the eye. In angle-closure glaucoma, this dilation can push the iris against the drainage angle, sharply increasing intraocular pressure. That makes angle-closure glaucoma a contraindication for cyclobenzaprine. Other conditions listed—migraine, hyperlipidemia, celiac disease—do not create the same acute risk with this medication, so they aren’t the primary reason to avoid it.
