Recommended Dosage
Methocarbamol comes in tablet form. Although the doses given below are typical, only your health-care practitioner can determine the dose and schedule that best fit your needs.
- Children: This drug is not recommended for children under the age of 12.
- Adults: Starting dose is 1,500 mg four times daily; your health-care practitioner will then reduce your dose to 500 mg three to four times daily.
If the tablets are hard to swallow, they can be crushed and mixed with a small amount of food or liquid. If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and resume your normal schedule. Never take a double dose.
