SKELAXIN (Metaxalone) is a safer drug to take with FLECAINIDE in PSVT patients who have some musculoskeletal issues and need pain relief.
There is no Pharmacologic Interaction between the two drugs on clinical grounds.
I recommend you to apply BENGAY ULTRASTRETCH GEL on the painful area and give a gentle massage. Then apply THERMACARE HEATWRAPS on the affected areas. All of this will give you soothing comfort and you will feel much better when heat will be adsorbed into the deeper tissues of the body. It will also improve local blood circulation causing fast relief from symptoms.
Take plenty of fluids and keep a balanced and healthy diet.
