 CS> Correct. Some things don't mix at all.  Some they 'can't put in

Too bad common sense is so very uncommon...

 CS> You'll never get a Doc to admit in writing that it's *ok* to have 1
 CS> beer or 1 6oz glass of wine with robaxin (over a 2 hour sip session).
 CS> They are constrained to tell you 'no alcohol'.  As ever, this is a
 CS> matter of how one reacts but it's not gonna keel anyone over.  Might at
 CS> most make those who already over react to alcohol, feel a might bit
 CS> more tipsy. 

One of the meds I used to take, label said "no alcohol".  When I asked,
turned out that it makes the BAC /appear/ to be higher than it is. 
Actual reactions weren't even likely to be affected.  Moral is to not
drink and then be in a position to have ones BAC checked when using that
one... ;)

 CS> I'm not *advising* this mind you!  I don't wanna get sued either.  But
 CS> i have  a quiet talk with my Doc on reality and generally there's a
 CS> reasonable limit.   I even get 'no alcohol' stickers on antibiotics for
 CS> example and there is zero interaction there.

Better safe than sued, I guess the policy is...

 CS> LOL, I had to laugh at that one.  Came with a topical 'roseacea' one. 
 CS> Hello? This was basically high powered clearasil....
 CS> So, I ask.  Tramadol and alcohol aint smart.  Robaxin in TRUE
 CS> moderation is ok.  Ignore the sticker that says no caffiene on the
 CS> topical antibiotics as well as the alcohol sticker as there is no
 CS> relation.  

Sometimes there can be a reaction with topical meds because they get
absorbed into the system... but again, I'd ask exactly WHAT reaction is
likely or even possible.

 CS> Pretty much *ask*.  Some are real, and some arent.

We are all agreeing on that.  :)
