Does Ciprofloxacin Interact With Flexeril?
Question: I IS THE DRUG I AM PRESCRIBED HAD SOME BIOPSYS DONE ON MY LEGS WHERE SOME ANTS BIT ME LAST AUGUST.. AND THEY ARE RED AND SHOWING SIGNS OF INFECTION AND MY DR. THAT DID THIS DID NOT WRITE ME RX FOR ABT. I GOT MY PRIMARY DR. TO WRITE ME RX FOR CIPRO BUT THE PHARMACY TOLD ME THIS WOULD REACCT WITH TRIZANADINE. THIS IS THE ABT THAT I AM GIVEN ALOT D/T MY ALLERGY TO SULFA AND MYCINS. I STOP MY TRIZANADINE WHILE I AM ON CIPRO AND TAKE FLEXERIL. IS THIS STILL OK TO DO?
Brief Answer:
Yes, this is okay!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
There is no documented reaction between flexneril and ciprofloxacin. As your pharmacist rightly said, trizanadine and cipro combination is discouraged and as such it is a good idea to stay off it while you take this antibiotic. Because of your allergies, the options are limited and thus discontinuing whenever there is need seems to be a reasonable option.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me and ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

SO I SHOULD NOT FEEL ANY DIFFERENT WHEN I TAKE THE CIPRO WITH THE FLEXERIL AS I DID BEFORE?
Brief Answer:
Sure, there should be no difference!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is the best approach and nothing wrong is expected from theory. However, report any abnormal observation to me for further scrutiny.
