Concerned About Taking Zanaflex And Flexeril At The Same Time

My brother has liver disease and one doctor prescribed him flexeril and a different doctor prescribed him zanaflex. Is it safe to take both meds? It seems to me like he should be taking one or the other.

You are correct, since they are both muscle relaxants, he should only be taking on or the other, depending on which works best for him.

The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth.

Was either doctor aware that one had already been prescribed for him? Is he on any other medications?
