Question 1

is it safe to take a oral nsaid and muscle relaxer with a topical cream that has a nsaid and muscle relaxer in it? both were prescribed by the dr.

Accepted Answer

It would be: safe because absoption of the drug is minimal from the skin won't go up to a drug toxicity level in the blood stream..

Question 2

what is the strongest muscle relaxer?

Accepted Answer

Not one agent: There are many relaxants. I believe one medicine may work better than other in a given individual and it will also depend what is the underlying medical problem being treated.

Question 3

what is a good  muscle relaxer to ask for?

Accepted Answer

Soma, flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl): There are quite a few.
I usually use Soma for relatively mild
muscle spasm and smaller patients
for patients with greater spasm, larger
size or having failed milder meds, i'll
use Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) 10 mg
i usually only have people use them at night due to the sedating effects unless
they are home and not driving.

Question 4

can i take muscle relaxer with pain pilla?

Accepted Answer

Yes but side effects: We do often prescribe muscle relaxants to be used at the same time as pain medications; however, both can cause sedation and when taken together, some patients feel quite sleepy, drunk or "out of it." thus, be careful, monitor yourself for any side effects and take the lowest effective dose. You generally shouldn't drive, work, operate machinery and make important decisions when on these meds.

Question 5

how long does it take for expired muscle relaxer to get out of your system?

Accepted Answer

Incomplete question: You forgot to mention muscle relaxant medication name. In your medication list, there is no muscle relaxant listed. Also remember, once the expiration date of your medication has passed there is no guarantee that an expired medicine will be safe and effective.
Hope it helps.
