एस्टाज़ोलम और सोडियम ऑक्सीबेट का इंटरैक्शन

• Central Nervous System Depression Xyrem (sodium oxybate) is a CNS depressant.

Abuse or misuse of illicit GHB, either alone or in combination with other CNS depressants, is associated with CNS adverse reactions, including seizure, respiratory depression, decreases in the level of consciousness, coma, and death [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )].

Central Nervous System Depression • Xyrem is a CNS depressant, and respiratory depression can occur with Xyrem use ( 5.1 , 5.4 )

Xyrem is contraindicated for use in: • combination with sedative hypnotics [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] .

• In combination with sedative hypnotics or alcohol ( 4 )

Although behaviors such as sleep-driving may occur with sedative-hypnotics alone at therapeutic doses, the use of alcohol and other CNS depressants with sedative-hypnotics appears to increase the risk of such behaviors, as does the use of sedative-hypnotics at doses exceeding the maximum recommended dose.

Patients should also be cautioned about possible combined effects with alcohol and other CNS depressant drugs.

The action of the benzodiazepines may be potentiated by anticonvulsants, antihistamines, alcohol, barbiturates, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, narcotics, phenothiazines, psychotropic medications, or other drugs that produce CNS depression.

Estazolam, like other benzodiazepines, has CNS depressant effects.

This behavior is more likely to occur when sedative-hypnotics are taken with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants (see WARNINGS ).
