What does the term "generic" mean? Do generic medications produce the same effect as the brand name medicines do?

Skelaxin

Skelaxin

Generic name: Metaxalone
Brand names: Skelaxin

Why Skelaxin is prescribed

Along with rest and physical therapy, Skelaxin is prescribed for the relief of painful musculoskeletal conditions. Researchers aren't sure how the drug works, but suspect that its effectiveness stems from its sedative properties.

The most important facts about Skelaxin

Skelaxin should be avoided by anyone with significant liver or kidney problems.

How you should take Skelaxin

No special instructions apply. Take exactly as prescribed.

If you miss a dose

If you have forgotten to take a dose, take it as soon as you recall. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and return to your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.

Storage instructions

Store Skelaxin at room temperature.

Side effects may be caused by Skelaxin

A drug cannot anticipate producing side effects. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe to continue using Skelaxin.

  • More common possible effects include:
    Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, irritability, nausea, nervousness, stomach upset, vomiting

When Skelaxin should not be prescribed

You'll need to avoid Skelaxin if it causes an allergic reaction. Do not take it if you have a tendency to anemia or a significant liver or kidney condition.

Special warnings about Skelaxin

If you have any problems with your liver, the doctor will monitor your liver function carefully.

Safety and effectiveness in children 12 and under have not been established.

Food and drugs that may interact with Skelaxin

There is no information on potential interactions.

Special precautions if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

It's best to avoid using Skelaxin during pregnancy--particularly early pregnancy--unless the potential benefits clearly outweigh the possible risks. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, notify your doctor immediately.

It is not known whether Skelaxin makes its way into breast milk. Breastfeeding while using the drug is not recommended.

Recommended dosage of Skelaxin

ADULTS

The usual dose for adults and children over 12 is 800 milligrams (2 tablets) 3 or 4 times a day.
