this pill has the numbers on the pill it is l405 and it is a round white pill on the other side it has 500 mg. ## This is not a Chlorzoxazone tablet. Pills marked with an L followed by 3 additional numbers are over the counter products, they are sold in many countries as the generics and store brands. This one contains 500mgs of Acetaminophen, so it is the same as an Extra Strength Tylenol. What led you to believe it was Chlorzoxazone?

My wife was prescribed chlorzoxazone for muscle pain/ tension and ran out so the doctor refilled the script. 1st time got a green disc shaped pill second time got a white barrel shaped tablet ## I was also prescribed the round green ones by my doctor the first time I got them the second time I got the white oblong ones ## This medication does not work well unless I take my prescribed percocet. ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? It could be that the pharmacy has just started carrying a different generic, which is common, it's how they keep the prices down for those that do not have insurance and have to pay out of pocket for their prescriptions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, and headache.

I had a five level fusion in December 2011. I have a knee bending pain when I move the wrong way. It last for hours. It's more like a knife jab or slice than nerve impigement which I have had much esxperience with. This medication does NOTHING to reduce the impact of pain caused by my moving the wrong way. It's as though I have had nothing to reduce the pain. Can you explain exactly how this medication is supposed to work and why might it not help me? ## Chlorzoxazone is a muscle relaxant, which means it only works on muscles, to prevent the spasms from them that can cause pain and discomfort. Thus, it is not actually a pain reliever. Additionally, for sudden break through pain like that, most pain relievers that have already been taken, will usually not help much. This is why i...

Last month when I picked up my refill for Chlorzoxazone 500mg. I noticed it was round instead on Oblong. The month before by pharmacy was out of the med so they transferred it to a competitor. It only had 1 refill left so when it came time for my refill I called my Dr. to call in my refill to my normal pharmacy. So, when the shape was different I thought maybe they changed to a different drug company. I put in for a refill earlier this week and a day later a received a call from the pharmacist. She seemed very concerned and very apologetic but proceeded to tell me that they had given me Chlorothiazide 500mg instead of the Chlorzoxazone 500mg. I had taken 93 of the wrong medication. Which is for high blood pressure and a diuretic. I ask her if it was okay to just quit taking the Chloroth...

allergic to diclofenac can i take chlorzoxazone ## Hi rich, From what I could gather, Chlorzoxazone is in a class of medications called skeletal muscle relaxants. Diclofenac on the other hand, is listed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). So if you are allergic to one, there shouldn't be any problems using the other, since they are not the same type of medication. I would however recommend discussing this with your Dr first, just to be on the safe side; as some people may be allergic to more than one type of substance. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Chlorzoxazone Details Is this your first time taking either of those medications?
