Risks From Concomitant Use With Benzodiazepines Or Other CNS Depressants Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.

Reserve concomitant prescribing of ULTIVA and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants for use in patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) , Drug Interactions (7) ] .

• Concomitant use of opioids with benzodiazepines or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death.

• Risks from Use as Postoperative Analgesia with Concomitant Benzodiazepines or other CNS Depressants : Hypotension, profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death may result from the concomitant use of ULTIVA with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants ( 5.3 )

Risks from Use as Postoperative Analgesia with Concomitant Benzodiazepines or Other CNS Depressants When benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants are used with ULTIVA, pulmonary arterial pressure may be decreased.

Sedation: Zanaflex may interfere with everyday activities; sedative effects of Zanaflex, alcohol, and other central nervous system (CNS) depressants are additive ( 5.3 , 7.4 )

The CNS depressant effects of Zanaflex with alcohol and other CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants) may be additive [see Drug Interactions ( 7.4 )] .

Monitor patients who take Zanaflex with another CNS depressant for symptoms of excess sedation.

To minimize the risk of these reactions, particularly in patients who have been receiving high doses of Zanaflex (20 to 28 mg daily) for long periods of time (9 weeks or more) or who may be on concomitant treatment with narcotics, the Zanaflex dosage should be decreased slowly [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.5 )] .

Alcohol and Other CNS Depressants Alcohol increases the exposure of tizanidine after administration of Zanaflex.
