What Should Be Done After Over Dose On Skelaxin?
Question: What do you do if you take 2 skelaxin
Brief Answer:
take rest
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Skelaxin is not usually taken 2 at a time as it Is strong muscle relaxant. If such a patient comes to me I usually advice them to take rest and not go out or drive for one day. I also advice not to walk much because as a side effect may feel dizziness, stomach upset, vomiting sensation, giddiness, weakness.
The maximum side effects are likely to start after 3 to 4 hours of drug intake and may be there till 4 to 5 hours. Usually all side effects may subscide by 8 to 10 hours. If it is not so then you need to consult your doctor.
I would suggest to take a ppi like omeprazole to avoid stomach upset .
Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help .
Regards
