GREEN TABLET MCNIEL ## I am taking this medicine and Naproxon 500mg and I am light-headed and not feeling very good. Which one or both is causing this? ## Naproxen Sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, Parafon Forte contains the active ingredient Chlorzoxazone, this is a muscle relaxant. Both of these medications can cause nausea as a side effect, however, the Chlorzoxazone can also cause drowsiness, dizziness and headache, so it is more than likely the culprit. These side effects should wear off as your body adjusts to the medication, however, if they don't, please speak to your doctor. You can read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with?

I had been taking Soma 350 for years because I have six crushed vertebra and recently my doctor changed to Parafon Forte 500. So far it's not as effective as the Soma was so I'm asking anyone if Flexeril would be better choice than the Parafon Forte. Thanks. ## It's my experience that Flexeril is better than PF (that's such an old drug, didn't know they still made that?) but nothing beats Soma. I've heard that docs are trying to get patients off Soma's because - besides being such a great street drug - IT FREAKING WORKS! Nah, that last bit was my rant. The Big Evil Three are (or used to be) Xanax, Soma, and hydrocodone. I was on those for years because they effing worked. My doc had no problems with me on those drugs but apparently the DEA did. And they broug...

green hex shaped ## quiero saber los efectos de la paraforte ## @luis rios, Con base en mi investigación, Parafon forte (Chlorzoxazone) se utiliza para tratar el dolor y la rigidez causada por un espasmo muscular. Este medicamento es un relajante muscular. Su médico le dirá cuánto tomar y que tan a menudo. Usted puede tomar los comprimidos enteros porque se puede quebrar las tabletas y mezclarlas con una pequeña cantidad de alimentos o líquidos. Menos que sea aprobado por su médico, usted no debe utilizar antidepresivos, pastillas para dormir, tranquilizantes, resfriados y alergias, analgésicos u otros relajantes musculares durante el uso chlorzoxazone. No beba alcohol mientras esté usando...

Is it a narcotic and does it have codine in it? ## Hi Lou, From what I could gather, Chlorzoxazone in and of itself is a centrally acting muscle relaxant and should show up accordingly on a drug test. Although there are certain brand names such as Muscol or Parafon Forte that contain a combination of Chlorzoxazone + Acetaminophen, there wouldn't be any narcotics to speak of.
