How Long Should I Wait To Consume Alcohol After Taking Flexeril?

Moderate interaction.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns. The legal amount of alcohol takes an average of five and a half hours to leave your body but unfourtanetly Flexeril might take 1-3 days for its plasma level to decrease. I would recommend that you avoid or limit the use of alcohol while using Flexeril as using them together may increase the nervous side effects of Flexeril as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion and impaired thinking.
Also using clonidine with Flexeril may cause a moderate interaction between them and lead to increased nervous side effects as well. So, I would recommend that you avoid driving and operating household machines while taking the two together.
Also using clonidine with alcohol may have an additive effect on decreasing your blood pressure.
I hope you find this helpful.
Regards.
