FAQ
Can you take methocarbamol while pregnant?
There is no indication that it is dangerous while pregnant, but there is no testing to say it’s 100% safe, either. Ideally, someone expecting a baby would only take methocarbamol if absolutely necessary and with a medical provider’s recommendation.
Can you take a muscle relaxer when pregnant?
They may not all be safe to take while pregnant. There is little testing on drugs such as methocarbamol to say one way or another. Always check with a medical provider before taking any medication during pregnancy.
