Metaxalone has been used clinically since the 1960s. Its exact mechanism is not fully characterised, but the drug appears to produce its muscle-relaxant effect through general central nervous system depression of polysynaptic reflexes rather than by direct action on the neuromuscular junction or on muscle tissue itself.<\/p>\n<p>Flexura&#8217;s clinical niche is the patient who needs a short-course oral muscle relaxant but cannot afford the significant drowsiness that accompanies cyclobenzaprine or tizanidine &mdash; for example, a professional driver, a student, or anyone managing a household while recovering from low-back injury. In head-to-head and comparative studies, metaxalone consistently comes out as one of the least-sedating centrally-acting muscle relaxants available.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Flexura Used For?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Akut l\u00e6ndesmerter med muskelspasmer<\/li>\n<li>Acute neck pain \/ cervical strain<\/li>\n<li>Muscle strain &mdash; hamstring, calf, quadriceps, shoulder<\/li>\n<li>Torticollis (&ldquo;wry neck&rdquo;)<\/li>\n<li>Post-traumatic muscle spasm<\/li>\n<li>Musculoskeletal pain in the context of soft-tissue injury or whiplash<\/li>\n<li>Tension headache with prominent cervical muscle component (as adjunct)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flexura is <em>ikke<\/em> indicated for chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, or spasticity due to upper motor neuron disease (for that, baclofen or tizanidine are preferred).<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Flexura Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Metaxalone depresses polysynaptic reflexes in the spinal cord and brainstem, reducing the guarding muscle spasm that accompanies painful musculoskeletal injury. It does not act directly on muscle fibres, on the neuromuscular junction, or on the brain in the way that benzodiazepines do &mdash; which is why it usually produces less sedation, less cognitive impairment, and no dependence.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexura Dosing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adults and children &ge; 13 years:<\/strong> 800&nbsp;mg (two 400&nbsp;mg tablets) three to four times daily, with or without food<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total daily dose:<\/strong> up to 3,200&nbsp;mg (8 tablets) as divided doses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Varighed:<\/strong> typically 5&ndash;14 days; not intended for long-term use<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00c6ldre patienter:<\/strong> start at 400&nbsp;mg QID and titrate up only if needed<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nyre- eller leversvigt:<\/strong> use with caution; avoid in severe impairment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take Flexura with water.

It is a short-course adjunct to rest, physiotherapy, and NSAID therapy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Flexura make you sleepy?<\/h3>\n<p>Metaxalone is one of the least-sedating centrally-acting muscle relaxants. Some drowsiness is still possible &mdash; especially in the first few days, with higher doses, or when combined with alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. Assess your response before driving.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long should I take Flexura?<\/h3>\n<p>Typical course is 5 to 14 days. Muscle relaxants are not intended for long-term use; if pain persists beyond 2&ndash;3 weeks, the pain drivers should be reassessed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Flexura addictive?<\/h3>\n<p>Metaxalone is not a controlled substance and is not considered to carry meaningful addiction or dependence potential. It is not a benzodiazepine.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Flexura with ibuprofen or paracetamol?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Muscle relaxants are commonly combined with an NSAID (ibuprofen, diclofenac) or paracetamol to address pain and spasm simultaneously. This combination is standard practice for acute low back pain.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol on Flexura?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid alcohol. The combination increases drowsiness, dizziness, and the risk of falls. If you must drink, keep to small amounts and never in the first few hours after a dose.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drive while taking Flexura?<\/h3>\n<p>Test your response first. Many patients drive safely on metaxalone after day 1&ndash;2, once the initial drowsiness settles. Do not drive on day 1 and do not drive if you feel dizzy or slow.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Flexura safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Flexura should be avoided during pregnancy unless the benefit clearly outweighs the risk. Breastfeeding: limited data &mdash; use only on medical advice.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I miss a dose of Flexura?<\/h3>\n<p>Take it when you remember, unless your next dose is due within 2 hours &mdash; then skip the missed dose. Never double up.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I stop Flexura suddenly?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &mdash; unlike benzodiazepines, metaxalone does not cause withdrawal. You can simply stop when symptoms have settled, ideally after a short taper if you have been on high-dose therapy for more than 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Flexura the same as cyclobenzaprine or Flexabenz?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Flexura is metaxalone; Flexabenz is cyclobenzaprine. Both are centrally-acting muscle relaxants but with different mechanisms, different side-effect profiles, and different sedation levels. Flexura causes less drowsiness; Flexabenz is stronger but more sedating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"medsbase-link-boost-2026-04-30\" data-marker=\"mb-link-boost-synaptol\">For chronic muscle-spasm management beyond metaxalone&rsquo;s 2\u20133 week recommended course, <a href='\/da\/synaptol\/'>Synaptol (tolperisone 150 mg)<\/a> can be used longer-term and is the preferred European choice for ongoing musculoskeletal pain syndromes.<\/p>\n<p data-mb-link-target=\"synaptol\" data-mb-anchor-variant=\"v2\" style=\"margin-top:1em;font-size:0.95em;color:#444;border-left:3px solid #2c7cb0;padding:0.5em 0.75em;background:#f4f8fb;\"><strong>Se ogs\u00e5:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/synaptol\/\"><strong>Synaptol (tolperisone)<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 tolperison-alternativ n\u00e5r cyclobenzaprins sederingseffekt er uacceptabel \u2014 centralt virkende uden H1-antihistamin-d\u00f8sighed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaterede alternativer<\/h3>\n<p>Andre produkter inden for <strong>Kroniske tilstande<\/strong> som kunder ogs\u00e5 ser:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/imat\/\">Imat<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/septilin\/\">Septilin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/ciclohale\/\">Ciclohale<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/prazopill-xl\/\">Prazopill XL<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/cytomid\/\">Cytomid<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2705 Lindrer muskelkramper<br \/>\n\u2705 Eases muscle stiffness<br \/>\n\u2705 Forbedrer mobilitet<br \/>\n\u2705 Lindrer muskel\u00f8mhed<br \/>\n\u2705 Improves muscle flexibility<\/p>\n<p>Flexura contains Metaxalone.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":58772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3555],"product_tag":[4565,4566],"class_list":{"0":"post-58771","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-category-overview","7":"product_cat-chronic-conditions","8":"product_cat-pain-relief-medication","9":"product_tag-flexura","10":"product_tag-metaxalone","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/58771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58771"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=58771"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=58771"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/da\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=58771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
