Uses of Skelaxin
Skelaxin (Metaxalone) is a muscle relaxant. Skelaxin works by blocking nerve
impulses (or pain sensations) that are sent to your brain. Skelaxin is used,

muscular conditions. Metaxalone may also be used for purposes other than
those listed in this medication guide.
Skelaxin Directions
Take Skelaxin exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand

you. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Store

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,

effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Skelaxin 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.
