Flexura 400 mg Tablet

Flexura 400 mg Tablet is an oral muscle relaxant that contains 400 mg of metaxalone in each tablet. It belongs to the skeletal muscle relaxant class and is used together with rest, physical therapy, and other measures to help relieve pain and discomfort from acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions. Flexura 400 mg Tablet does not treat the cause of the muscle injury, but it can help reduce muscle-related pain and stiffness while the area heals.

How it works: Metaxalone helps calm the nervous system signals that contribute to muscle tightness and painful spasms. As a tablet, Flexura 400 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to help ease muscle discomfort over time.

Flexura 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength metaxalone tablet, so it is usually chosen for adults who need a full prescription-strength dose and have been assessed by a doctor. Because there are no other Flexura strengths or forms listed here, this tablet is meant to fit within standard metaxalone dosing rather than being a starter dose for everyone; a clinician decides whether this 400 mg strength is appropriate.
