Buy Skelaxin

Skelaxin (Metaxalone) is used in the short-term treatment of acute and painful musculoskeletal disorders. It is usually used along with other supportive treatment options such as rest and physical therapy to relieve musculoskeletal pain and discomfort caused by spasms, strains, and sprains. The active ingredient in Skelaxin is metaxalone, which belongs to the group of medications known as muscle relaxants. While its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, it is thought to work by depressing the central nervous system (CNS). This means that it acts on the brain and spinal cord, which are the body's control center. When Skelaxin affects these areas, it reduces the signals that cause the muscles to contract too much, helping them relax and feel better.
