Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking metaxalone. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
Many drugs can increase the effects of metaxalone, which can lead to heavy sedation.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with metaxalone. Your pharmacist has more information about metaxalone written for health professionals that you may read. Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed. The information in this leaflet is not intended to cover all possible uses, directions, precautions, drug interactions, or adverse effects. If you have questions about the drugs you are taking, check with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
