Is it safe to drink coffee and take a muscle relaxer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful w/xanaflex: Most of the common muscle relaxers do not interact with caffeine and are therefore safe to take with coffee. Levels of tizanidine (zanaflex), however, are increased when taken with caffeine and this can enhance the dangerous side effects.
