What the FDA labels say
From the Lemborexant (DAYVIGO) label · effective 2025-02-24
Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use.
Intervention: Avoid concomitant use of DAYVIGO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )].
Risk increases with dose and use with other central nervous system (CNS) depressants.
Co-administration with other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, alcohol) increases the risk of CNS depression, which can cause daytime impairment.
Examples: Strong CYP3A inhibitors: itraconazole, clarithromycin Moderate CYP3A inhibitors: fluconazole, verapamil Weak CYP3A inhibitors: chlorzoxazone, ranitidine Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Impact: Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases lemborexant exposure, which may reduce DAYVIGO efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology…
From the Topiramate (Trokendi XR) label · effective 2026-03-20
Because of the potential of topiramate to cause CNS depression, as well as other cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric adverse reactions, TROKENDI XR should be used with extreme caution if used in combination with alcohol and other CNS depressants [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ].
CNS Depressants Concomitant administration of topiramate with other CNS depressant drugs or alcohol has not been evaluated in clinical studies.
