Skelaxin is a muscle relaxant that works by blocking nerve impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Skelaxin is used, along with rest and physical therapy, to treat injuries and other painful muscular conditions. It may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Take Skelaxin with a full glass of water. The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is one 800mg tablet three to four times a day.
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Skelaxin and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); or yellow skin or eyes. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take this medication and talk to your doctor if you experience drowsiness or dizziness; headache, nervousness, or irritability; or nausea, upset stomach, or vomiting. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
