Brief Answer:
Medications that effect the nervous system have potential of interaction- please see below for more details

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for asking at healthcaremagic.

I carefully read your question and understand your concern related to possible side effects of combining two drugs.

Flexerill is primary used for muscle relaxation but still has the effect of interacting with other medications especially the ones that effect the central nervous system (the brain)

The second mediation seems to have a spelling issue, is it clozapin or clonazepam, or something else?
Both these medications are medications that affect the central nervous system and both have the risk of sedation and taking them at the same time with the flexeril might increase the risk for suppression in the in the brain and severe sedation. If you meant a different name than clonazepam or clozapin please reply and tell me the name of the medication exactly as you read it in the box as sometimes the names might seem similar but might be a totally different medicaiton.

To conclude i would say: you will need to follow exactly the instructions of your doctors as the side effects and interactions of these drugs can be important and should be taken in consideration.

I hope i have answered to your question but please feel free to reply in case more clarification is needed on this.

Kind regards,

Antoneta Zotaj, MD
