I have found three identical white round tablets. Single score on one side and on other is SK1. Roughly the size of a paracetamol tab. Any ideas? ## Since you said Paracetamol, rather than Acetaminophen, I assume you aren't in the U.S. Where are you located? This information may help me track down what is in these tablets. It isn't listed in any of our U.S. prescription drug resources. Does anyone else recognize this tablet? ## I'm in the UK ## it is a temazepam, its mostly used as a sleeper ## Definitely a temazepam tablet. I am prescribed these. They are 10mg. Wonders how you found them. They are in a blister pack so have been removed. ## Temazepam tablet 10mg ## It's a 10mg Temazepam tablets, packed by accord /almus Not Teva.

muscle spasm ## i have arthritis and had 2 shoudler surgergies and gallbadder surgery in chronic pain every day ## Skelaxin, which contains the active ingredient Metaxolone is not a pain medication, it is a muscle relaxant, so there are only certain things it will help with. Have you consulted with a doctor regarding appropriate treatments for your issues?

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?

I have been diagnosed with stenosis. Walking becomes painful but is recommended for exercise. How can I exercise pain free? ## Have you discussed it with your doctor? While it may be painful, for awhile, as your body gets used to the exercise, it should gradually improve. Anyone that isn't used to exercising, will experience some pain, when they first start and, with your condition, this will obviously be worse for you, but the only that can really help is perseverance. Has your doctor prescribed Skelaxin? It contains the active ingredient Metaxalone and is a muscle relaxant, its side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and weight changes. Learn more:

Would skelaxin 800 mg be good to use for bruising (sore) chest area from a fall?r ## Hello, Rosemarie! How are you? No, this is a muscle relaxant, so it will only help with things such as strains, sprains and muscle cramping. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Are there the same ingredients and results ## Hello, Connie! How are you? They both treat the same conditions, since they are muscle relaxants, but no they do not contain the same active ingredients. Skelaxin contains the active ingredient Metaxalone, while Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine. Side effects are also very similar and may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

How has Skelaxin affected any one out there? ## I have taken this med before & could never feel any difference. Isnt it a muscel relaxer? ## what kind of overhe counter med. can you take for RA anything to stop the pain ## Well, Kari, I know some people swear by over the counter medications, such as anti-inflammatories, like Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or Acetaminophen (Tylenol), as well as some herbal remedies. The main concern here, of course, is that you have to be careful how much you take, due to the possibility of overdosage, which can result in severe organ damage or even death. So, if you are going to try them, please be careful to stay within the recommended dosages and also, make sure they don't interact with any other medications you may be taking.

My doctor has prescribed skelaxin for muscle spasms in my hands and feet due to osteoarthritis, it doesn't seem to help very much but I cannot take tizanidine because of serious side effects. (Hallucinations) I currently take Opana ER (10mg 3/day and Percocet 4/day) What other muscle relaxers can be prescribed? ## Hello, Toots! How are you? Two other options would be Carisoprodol (Soma) and Methocarbamol (Robaxin). The FDA lists the typical side effects for them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My doctor decided on Baclofen. It seems to be working pretty well. Thanks for responding!

What are side effects of Skelaxin and can it be taken if you have gastritis and also taking blood pressure meds? ## What has your doctor advised? There are no warnings about using it, if you have stomach problems, but it may cause some nausea and irritation, other side effects can include dizziness and drowsiness. As to the blood pressure medications, I can't check that information for you, without knowing the specific ones. Can you please post back with what you are on, so I can check for you?
