Order Skelaxin Online:
Skelaxin’s general name is Metaxalone. It is marketed by the company King Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Skelaxin. It is a muscle relaxant that is used to relieve pain caused by strains, sprains and other kinds of muscle injuries. It is an effective medication for acute muscle spasms especially those relating to back pain. Skelaxin is available as an oval tablet of 800mg and it is known to have little or no accompanying effects like drowsiness.
The prescribed dose for adults and children above 12 years is one 800mg tablet taken three to four times a day. But Skelaxin 800mg is known to work best when it is part of a sustained program of treatment, including rest, physiotherapy and other measures of relief as recommended by the physician or physiotherapist. Although Skelaxin generally causes less drowsiness than some other pain relievers, its sedative effect may be addictive especially if taken with other CNS depressants. Infact there have been instances of deliberate or accidental overdoses particularly in combination with anti-depressants and regular intake of alcohol. It is not safe for use during pregnancy because Skelaxin’s effect on the foetus has not been determined and during lactation as the drug may be excreted with human milk. Skelaxin should not also be given to children below 12 years of age.
The visible side effects caused by Skelaxin are drowsiness, bouts of nervousness, irritability, headache and dizziness. It often affects the digestive system and the victim is plagued with nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal upset. It also might corrupt the immune system thereby causing hypersensitivity reaction and rash with or without pruritus. Apart from these, Leukopenia and hemolytic anaemia can be counted among the hematological disorders that are caused by Skelaxin. Jaundice is caused when Skelaxin adversely affects the hepatobiliary system. Though quite rare but anaphylactoid reactions have also been reported with Skelaxin.
