My interpretation is that you do not need to report the medication unless you are currently taking it or routinely need it for a chronic condition. While you are on the muscle relaxant, you should refrain from flying. To be certain, your AME should be able to answer that question for you before you start the med.

I hope that helps.

correct . . . take med & stop flying. Stop med and resume flying 2 days later. INHO advil works just as well and causes less reporting paperwork
