Subject: I vote for Lodine and Skelaxin

I've done a lot of pain management in the past, and Lodine and Skelaxin are very often prescribed together.

Just throwing this out there, but I was corrected many times that a french is a unit of measure, not French as in from France. Would not be capitalized. 3 french = 1 mm.

I have seen both ways. However, it is french, not French (as in from France). A french is a unit of measure and not capilalized, just as you would not capitalize inch, foot, etc.
