Robax Platinum is a combination medication used for relieving pain associated with muscle spasm, such as strains and sprains, back pain, and tense neck muscles. Robax Platinum is the most effective back pain remedy you can buy with a valid prescription from a physician. It is the only product of its kind to combine methocarbamol, an effective muscle relaxant with the pain reliever, ibuprofen.
Robax Platinum contains 500mg of methocarbamol to relax tense back muscles and reduce muscle spasm. That's 25% more muscle relaxant per caplet than Robaxacet or Robaxisal. It also contains 200mg of ibuprofen to relieve back pain, inflammation and the pain associated with strains and sprains.
The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years is 1 or 2 caplets every 4 to 6 hours. Do not take more than 6 caplets in 24 hours unless directed by your doctor.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the one above, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
The following side effects may go away as your body becomes used to the medication; check with your doctor if they continue or become bothersome:
nausea and vomiting, stomach pain or cramps, heartburn or indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and/or gas
dizziness, headache, nervousness, drowsiness, lightheadedness, and fever.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
