Interação entre Temazepam e Zonisamida

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.

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

Patients should be carefully observed for signs of central nervous system (CNS) depression, such as somnolence and sedation, when ZONISADE is used with other drugs with sedative properties because of potential additive effects.

• ZONISADE should be used with caution if used in combination with alcohol or other CNS depressants ( 7.1 ).

CNS Depressants Concomitant use of ZONISADE with other CNS depressants, including alcohol, may increase the risk of CNS depression, as well as other cognitive and/or neuropsychiatric adverse events [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.11 )] .
