Skelaxin Adverse Reactions
The most frequent reactions to metaxalone include nausea/vomiting, GI upset, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, and anxiety or irritability. Hypersensitivity reactions have occurred and are characterized by maculopapular rash with or without pruritus. Leukopenia, hemolytic anemia, and jaundice have occurred rarely.
Use of metaxalone has been associated with elevated hepatic enzymes such as increased serum concentrations of AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin. Liver function tests should be performed periodically in patients receiving metaxalone.
