Is Flexeril The Same As Robaxin?

Does Flexeril and robaxin work the same way? I take flexeril at night. I spent the night with my mom last night and took one of her robaxin at night since I forgot my flexeril. Will it get me in trouble when I do y urinalysis at my doctors office when I go for a refill? I did not even think about it at the time!!! OOPS

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if Flexeril the same as Robaxin.

Well both are muscle relaxant having same effect . Both are use to treat skeletal muscle conditions such as pain or injury.

You can take robaxin once or twice if your forgot flexeril and if you are not allergic to methocarbamol ( robaxin ) . You can also consult your doctor before taking robaxin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
