Taking 7.5 mirtazapine for sleep while tapering Tramadol; Acetaminophen: (Major) Concomitant use of opiate agonists with benzodiazepines may cause respiratory depression, hypotension, profound sedation, and death. After IV administration of a 4 mg dose to adult patients, initial concentrations are approximately 70 ng/mL. Meprobamate: (Moderate) Concomitant administration of benzodiazepines with meprobamate can potentiate the CNS effects (e.g., increased sedation or respiratory depression) of either agent. Hydroxychloroquine: (Moderate) Monitor persons with epilepsy for seizure activity during concomitant lorazepam and hydroxychloroquine use. Limit the use of opiate pain medications with benzodiazepines to only patients for whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. Green Tea: (Minor) Patients taking benzodiazepines for insomnia should not use caffeine-containing products, such as green tea, prior to going to bed as these products may antagonize the sedative effects of the benzodiazepine. Zaleplon: (Major) Monitor for excessive sedation and somnolence during coadministration of zaleplon and benzodiazepines. Avoid prescribing opiate cough medications in patients taking benzodiazepines. In one study of elderly volunteers, half of the patients received DHEA 200 mg/day PO for 2 weeks, followed by a single dose of triazolam 0.25 mg. Triazolam clearance was reduced by close to 30% in the DHEA-pretreated patients vs. the control group; however, the effect of DHEA on CYP3A4 metabolism appeared to vary widely among subjects. Increase gradually as needed and tolerated. In general, lorazepam dose selection for the geriatric adult should be cautious, starting at the low end of the dosage range. Lorazepam in excreted in the urine primarily as the inactive glucuronide metabolite; lorazepam also undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. 0000010283 00000 n
Human studies suggest that a single short exposure to a general anesthetic in young pediatric patients is unlikely to have negative effects on behavior and learning; however, further research is needed to fully characterize how anesthetic exposure affects brain development. Dose reductions may be required. 0000007240 00000 n
It appears glucuronide conjugation of lorazepam is increased in the presence of combined hormonal oral contraceptives; the clinical significance of this interaction is not determined. An enhanced CNS depressant effect may occur when carbetapentane is combined with other CNS depressants including benzodiazepines. In addition, patients should not attempt driving or operating machinery until 24 to 48 hours after surgery or until the CNS depressant effects have subsided, whichever is longer. 0000000856 00000 n

Adults over 50 years of age may experience a greater incidence of central nervous system (CNS) depression and more respiratory depression with use of lorazepam, particularly with preanesthetic use. Immediate-release tablets and solution: Lorazepam is readily absorbed following an oral dose, with an absolute bioavailability of 90% reported following administration of immediate-release tablets. Subjective central nervous system effects occur within 1 to 2 hours; peak plasma concentrations occur 2 hours following administration. 10 mg/day PO; maximum IM and IV dose highly variable depending upon indication. 0

Hydrochlorothiazide, HCTZ; Methyldopa: (Moderate) Methyldopa is associated with sedative effects. Do not store for future use. An in vitro study demonstrated significant increases in lorazepam release from the extended-release capsule 2 hours post-dose with approximately 91%-95% and 37 -42% of drug release in the presence of 40% and 20% alcohol, respectively. Benzodiazepine doses may need to be reduced up to 75% during coadministration with remifentanil. Lorazepam is an UGT substrate and ombitasvir is an UGT inhibitor. In some cases, the dosages of the CNS depressants may need to be reduced. Dosage not available for anxiety disorders; however, lorazepam 0.025 to 0.05 mg/kg/dose PO as needed (no more frequently than every 4 hours) has been used in burn patients with anxiety related to being in the hospital, dressing changes, etc. In a clinical trial, there was clear evidence for a transitory pharmacodynamic interaction between melatonin and another hypnotic agent one hour following co-dosing. WebI have been taking .5 lorazepam for over two and a half years. If concurrent use is necessary, use the lowest effective doses and minimum treatment durations needed to achieve the desired clinical effect.
