Skelaxin® (metaxalone) is a prescription muscle relaxant. It is approved for use in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments for relieving the pain associated with short-term "musculoskeletal conditions," such as muscle spasms due to an injury.
Who Makes It?
Skelaxin is made by Mallinckrodt, Inc., and is marketed and sold by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
How Does Skelaxin Work?
It is not clear exactly how Skelaxin helps relieve muscle spasms. However, it is known to work mostly in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), not directly on the muscles.
