Can U Take Prednisone With Methocarbamol

Does Methocarbamol contain any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs? If so, how does it work? ## No, it is a muscle relaxant that works by helping to relax smooth muscles, to relieve the pain caused by muscle sprains, strains, and spasms. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. Has it been prescribed for you?

Just found out the I have a cervical hernia and E.R.doc prescribed 20 mg of prednisone and 750mg. of Methocarbamol, "already taking pain med Hydro 10/325 for knee pain/"I'm due for a knee replacement soon". Until I get to my doc on Monday, and get referred to a specialist; will any of the meds interfere with the prednisone, or increase the side effects?

My wife has arthritis and she needs to take Artridol for relief. We used to go to Mexico to get the medication, but we don't go there anymore. ## Where can I order Artridol over the counter? I can't get to Mexico to get them. ## You could always go to your doctor and ask for methocarbamol and a steroidal anti inflammatory drug (like prednisone). Those are the two main ingredients in Artridol, aside from the NSAID.

I have a bugling disc for which I am taking fentanyl 25mcg and hydrocodone, but I am still in a great deal of pain that makes me cry. The pain is in my leg and thigh. I have had one series of 3 shots in my back with no relief. Would robaxin help? The pain is so bad. ## Robaxin contains the active ingredient Methocarbamol, it is a muscle relaxant, so it's really only going to help with pain that's due to muscle spasms, or strains. Has your doctor advised you to use it? ## Does robaxin 750mg have anti-inflammatory properties? Is it equivalent to prednisone 10mg?
