Cyclobenzaprine, Meclizine and Triamterene


Can you take these together?

The last two are for my vertigo and the Cyclo is for my back pain.

Can you take these together?

The last two are for my vertigo and the Cyclo is for my back pain.

TBM:

I checked the epocrates database and there is a drug interaction between cyclobenzaprine (flexoril, a muscle relaxer) and meclizine (Antivert, an anticholinergic used for vertigo)... it basically says that since both can make you sleepy, taking them together may make you even sleepier, so be careful. Triamterene is a diuretic that's usually combined with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) that is used for high blood pressure, or vertigo caused by Meniere's disease.

hope this helps!
