Drug Description

Indications 

Robaxacet Extra Strength is an oral medication commonly prescribed for conditions such as back pain, tense neck muscles, strains, and sprains. It can be used for the relief of pain associated with muscle spasm or tension. 

Robaxacet contains an analgesic called acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol) and a muscle relaxant called methocarbamol. The acetaminophen helps to relieve pain, while the methocarbamol helps to relax tense muscles. The combination helps to alleviate pain and relax tense muscles

The recommended dosage for adults is typically two tablets taken four times a day. However, note that dosages may vary depending on individual needs and medical advice.
