It's a pink oblong pill with 448 on it and some type of logo next to the #'s. No other letters or numbers on it, what other details are needed?

If so, it is manufactured by Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, and they list it as containing 800mgs of Metaxalone, which is a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and dry mouth.

I have been taking hydrocodone for ddd and bulging disc.went to a new dr who prescribed skelaxin instead of hydrcodone. will this help? ## It may help some, but it is not a narcotic, so I am doubtful you will get the same pain relief you did from the Hydrocodone.

Pink oblong metalox ## I have leftovers from about a year ago. Are they still effective or should i get rid of them? I was told that they are still good but they just lose their potency. ## Skelaxin contains the active ingredient Metaxalone, this is a muscle relaxant. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. Lorraine, that is correct, they are not dangerous, but can lose some of their efficacy over time. This causes some people to use more than they should, which is why you are told to throw away old medications. Are there any other questions? ## Is it ok to take ibuprophen along with skelaxin?
