Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am not sure if Dr. XXXXXXX is available to answer your question at this point of time, therefore I shall take this opportunity to answer it on behalf.

Mobizox can be used for back strains provided you do not a pre-existing liver and or renal disease. It can be used by diabetic though.

I would prefer to keep the frequency at minimal may be for a day or two only. I shall encourage you to use topical remedies such as moist heat compresses or topical pain agents such as volini spray along with adequate back rest as the main line of treatment.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
