ROBAXIN MUSCLE RELAXANT (METHOCARBAMOL)

Robaxin Muscle Relaxant Description

Maybe you over-worked your body with exercise, moving heavy objects, or lifting the wrong way; whatever the reason, ask your doctor about a prescription to purchase Robaxin Muscle Relaxant or generic Methocarbamol. The pain of a muscle strain or sprain can interfere with sitting, standing, walking, playing, or laying down. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Robaxin Muscle Relaxant Works Indirectly on Your CNS

Robaxin Muscle Relaxant is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that is usually recommended as a short-term medication to help relieve pain, along with rest and some physical therapy. Although muscles are not directly targeted by Robaxin Muscle Relaxant, it causes central nervous system (CNS) depression to relax your body and allow you to rest comfortably. Without seeking treatment for skeletal muscle pain, you will simply aggravate the affected area through moving around and causing you greater pain. Complete rest will help, but the combination of Robaxin Muscle Relaxant with physical therapy and rest will have you better prepared to go back to work, school, or the gym.

Conditions Treated by Robaxin Muscle Relaxant

At the first sign of warmer weather, many people want to get their ‘beach-body’ ready. The first mistake usually made is to overdo physical activity. This can cause certain muscles groups to react badly and they will want to protect themselves from the strenuous activity. To do this, the muscles will sense when the stretching or speed being exerted is beyond their threshold and they will contract. This will help reduce the risk of a tear or other damage. As the muscles contract, the pain can bring you to halt. Treating with Robaxin Muscle Relaxant early will decrease your down time and let you resume activities sooner.

Before Robaxin Muscle Relaxant is Prescribed

Ask your doctor about any risks with taking Robaxin Muscle Relaxant while you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or you are breast feeding. To determine if Robaxin Muscle Relaxant is safe for you, tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.
