फेनोबार्बिटोन, हायोसायमिन, एट्रोपिन और स्कोपोलामाइन (हायोसिन) और ज़ेलेप्लॉन का इंटरैक्शन

The use of zaleplon with other sedative-hypnotics at bedtime or the middle of the night is not recommended (see ).

An alternative non-CYP3A4 substrate hypnotic agent may be considered in patients taking CYP3A4 inducers such as rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and phenobarbital.

Post-marketing reports have shown that complex sleep behaviors may occur with zaleplon alone at recommended dosages, with or without the concomitant use of alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants.

Coadministration with other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression.

Dosage adjustments of zaleplon and of other concomitant CNS depressants may be necessary when zaleplon is administered with such agents because of the potentially additive effects.
