🌿 What is Metaxalone 400 mg (Flexura)?

Flexura 400 mg contains Metaxalone, a centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant. Metaxalone’s exact mechanism remains unclear, but it is thought to involve general central nervous system depression. It is indicated for acute musculoskeletal pain and spasm, providing symptomatic relief adjunct to rest and physical therapy. Compared to other muscle relaxants, Metaxalone exhibits a lower incidence of sedation and cognitive impairment, making Flexura a preferred choice for patients needing muscle relaxation with daytime functionality.
