Question 1

is it ok to take expired methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

When expired?: Depends on how long ago it expired and the conditions in which it was kept.  The expiration date includes for most medication an extra years worth of safety (not true for many drugs, particularly injectables).  I would not fret if were a year expired.

Question 2

what happens if u take 3 methocarbamol?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Methocarbamol comes in 500 mg and 750 mg forms - 3 of the 500 mg tabs would be ok, whereas 3 of the 750 is above the recommended dose.  Side effects could include slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, confusion, sleepiness, etc.  Presumably it's out of your system by now but if you're still having side effects, see a physician.

Accepted Answer

Discuss with MD: No real serious reports of pravastatin and Methocarbamol interactions. However you should discuss with your doctor or pharmacist as other factors may come into play when deciding if a particular medication and it&#x27;s potential side effect profile is right for your overall situation.

Question 9

does methocarbamol help with rls?

Accepted Answer

Prob not, try iron: Methocarbamol is not likely to help very much. The most effective treatment for restless leg syndrome usually is iron pills. Although iron is normally used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, it has been found to be highly effective against most cases of RLS. (I speak from personal as well as professional experience. My wife's very bothersome RLS cleared entirely with iron.) Ask your doctor.

No: There are no addictive properties to any typical muscle relaxants ( excluding valium that can be used for muscle relaxation).
