Drug Interactions With Methocarbam

What are interactions of methocarbamol with allopurinol, methylphenidate, clonazepam, Lexapro, coated aspirin, nabumetone, triamterene/hydrochlorothiazide, pentoxifylline, tamulosin, Benicar, pramipexole, and nabumetone? ## Hello, Alton! How are you? The only interaction I found listed between any of these, with the Methocarbamol is combining it with the Clonazepam, since both can cause sedation, which could be detrimental to some people. The FDA classifies Methocarbamol as a muscle relaxant and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Have these all been prescribed for you? ## Thats Not an answer on side affects. Methocarbamol with clonazapam & ....... So what are the side affects.

Is this drug safe to take with gabapentin 600 mg? Also what dosage? How often can it be taken? ## Does Rumoquin N.F. interact with Metoprolol 25 mg or Atorvastatin 40 mg ## @Brownie, Rumoquin NF contains a combination of diclofenac, methocarbamol and dexamethasone. Because these are all prescribed drugs, the doctor who is prescribing them to you should be aware of anything else you are taking alongside them. If your doctor didn't give you any dosing advice, I would recommend calling him/her asap. Ironically, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool), diclofenac and dexamethasone have a "high interaction potential"; that is to say it is NOT recommended you take them together, which I find odd since they are both included in the s...

Can i take 500mg methocarbamal and 300mg gabapentin and what are the side effects ## Hi babygurl, According to umm.edu's drug interaction checker, there are no interactions listed between Methocarbamol and Gabapentin. However, cross referencing this on other webpages has brought up a notation about Methocarbamol and Gabapentin potentially causing an increase in certain side effects, such as an impaired cognitive function, dizziness, and drowsiness. Other than that, it seems to me like there shouldn't be any complications outside of their own individual list of side effects. Furthermore, in the event that you ever did experience these side effects (knock on wood) you can always work with your doctor on developing a dosing schedule that helps minimize this risk of interaction betw...

What are side effects? Risks of interactions with antidepressants/bi-polar meds such as Limictal and/or Klonopin and/or attention meds such as Vyvanse, dextro-amphetamine, dex, dexidrine? Ex stole my prescription and replaced those contents with Methocarbamol and Ativan. Not a horrible forced trade for me till next month when I refill and get back to my normal med blend, although she'll wish she had them when she starts coming down. Anyway, thought I could take one to relax at bedtime but don't want to cross interact and hurt myself. Note: currently not taking any attention medication because of aforementioned. Would love some feedback. Thanks! ## Hi Robert, Sorry to hear about your Ex stealing your prescription. I hope the two of you manage to get things worked out on some leve...

Is it dangerous to take Methocarbamol 500 mg with hydrocodone 7.5mg / acetaminophen 500mg? Are there drug interactions? ## Muscle relaxants, such as Methocarbamol and narcotics, such as Vicodin are often prescribed together to help treat pain. However, there are some risks associated using them together that you should know to watch out for. They can both cause central nervous system depression and this can be made worse by using them concomitantly. This means you should watch for breathing problems, such as very shallow breathing and low breathing rate, slowed heart rate and pulse rate, as well as feelings of heavy sedation. Have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacist about your concerns? ## I am taking 1 tab 3 times a day of Methocarbamol 500MG and aleve for pain in my hip and thigh ...
