Droperidol ve Tapentadol etkileşimi

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 tapentadol tablets 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 CONCOMITANT USE WITH BENZODIAZEPINES OR OTHER CNS DEPRESSANTS Profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death may result from the concomitant use of tapentadol tablets with benzodiazepines and/or other CNS depressants, including alcohol (e.g., non-benzodiazepine sedatives/hypnotics, anxiolytics, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, general anesthetics,…

Advise both patients and caregivers about the risks of respiratory depression and sedation when tapentadol tablets are used with benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants (including alcohol and illicit drugs).

Other risk factors may include age over 65 years, alcohol abuse, and use of agents such as benzodiazepines, volatile anesthetics, and IV opiates.

It is recommended that opioids, when required, initially be used in reduced doses.

CNS Depressant Drugs: Other CNS depressant drugs (e.g. barbiturates, tranquilizers, opioids and general anesthetics) have additive or potentiating effects with droperidol.

Following the administration of droperidol, the dose of other CNS depressant drugs should be reduced.

As with other CNS depressant drugs, patients who have received droperidol should have appropriate surveillance.
