Flexura

Uses
Flexura (Metaxalone) is prescribed to patients suffering from muscle pain or spasms. It can also treat these conditions when caused by injury. Doctors often tell patients to rest and undergo physical therapy while they are taking this medication. The active ingredient in this drug is a type of muscle relaxant, which works by blocking the nerve impulses (also known as pain signals) in the brain, thereby reducing pain and discomfort.

Dosage and Administration
Flexura (Metaxalone) comes in the form of 400mg tablets. There is also an 800mg version available. The exact dosage required for each patient can vary. Because of this, it is necessary for each patient to consult their doctor before treatment, so that the correct dosage can be prescribed. In some cases, adult patients taking this drug have been told by their doctor to take it 3 to 4 times per day. Swallow each tablet whole, together with a glass of water, and do not exceed the prescribed dosage. If taken after a meal that is high in fat, there is a possibility that side effects may occur. For this reason, your doctor may direct you to take it on an empty stomach or after a light meal.
