Skelaxin and Gastritis

12/15/2009

Question:

I have some stomach problems ie. nausea, gastritus and reflux disease. Will Skelactin upset my stomach even more?

Answer:

Thank you for contacting net Wellness. Skelaxin® (metaxalone) does cause nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal upset and would aggravate your stomach problems. I would work with your doctor and local pharmacist who knows your medical and prescription history to make another medication choice.
