Interação entre Ciclobenzaprina e Temazepam

Based on its structural similarity to TCAs, concomitant use of TONMYA with: MAO inhibitors may be life-threatening [see Contraindications (4) ] , Alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may increase the risk of adverse reactions associated with these drugs, Tramadol may increase the seizure risk, Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs may block the…

CNS Depression and Risk of Operating a Motor Vehicle or Hazardous Machinery TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression and concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression [see Drug Interactions (7) ].

CNS Depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced ( 5.5 , 7 )

Prescribe the lowest effective dosage; avoid or minimize concomitant use of CNS depressants and other substances associated with abuse, misuse, and addiction (e.g., opioid analgesics, stimulants); and advise patients on the proper disposal of unused drug.

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

The benzodiazepines, including temazepam, produce additive CNS-depressant effects when co-administered with other CNS depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, antipsychotics, sedative/hypnotics, anxiolytics, antidepressants, narcotic analgesics, sedative antihistamines, anticonvulsants, and anesthetics.

Such abnormalities have also been reported to occur in association with the use of drugs with central nervous system depressant activity, including those of the benzodiazepine class.

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