Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (7 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Should be careful...

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

There is no rule for that. Taking such drugs with alcohol may cause more central nervous system depression. If you've only drunk a glass or two then taking it after 2-3 hours should generally be OK but there is no rule.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Any interactions between sudafed and klonapine, augmentin, flexeril, alegra and prednisone? I have allergies, tmj, sinus infection snd anxeity wanting to make sure i can have them all especially the klonapin and sudafed together?

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (17 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No serious interactions for most of them.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

No serious interactions are expected. Just watch for the following:
- flexeril with Klonopin and perhaps also with Sudafed and Allegra may cause more central nervous system depression than usual as they may exert an additive effect on the nervous system.

Hope I have answered your query.
