Skelaxin 800mg

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?
