What are the uses for skelaxin(Metaxalone)the sites on it say a muscle relaxent but also say "other" uses

Question

Im curious what the "other" uses are

Answer 1

Though skelaxin is usually used for muscle injuries (strains, sprains, etc.), there are a few other uses that I am aware of. Skelaxin is sometimes ordered for arthritis to relax muscles, ease pain and reduce stiffness. It can also be used in some instances of chronic pain.

This medication comes in several forms and specific forms of skelaxin are ordered for specific situations. So, if you are taking skelaxin, the form you have might not address another condition.
