How long should i wait to drink alcohol after taking flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 8 hours: Both can cause drowsiness, & combination can cause severe drowsiness. Usual dose for Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) is 3 times a day; so sedation risk less after 8 hours. Ideally should not drink alcohol with medications, especially ones that can cause additive effects.
