Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

aldesleukin eszopiclone

Applies to: Proleukin (aldesleukin) and eszopiclone

MONITOR: Sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and other central nervous system (CNS) depressants may have additive CNS-depressant effects with aldesleukin. Aldesleukin has been associated with CNS effects including depression, confusion, and drowsiness, which may progress to coma.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if aldesleukin is used with sedatives, hypnotics, tranquilizers, or other CNS-active medications. Patients should be monitored for CNS depression and other CNS adverse effects. Treatment with aldesleukin should be discontinued if severe lethargy or somnolence develop.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

eszopiclone food

Applies to: eszopiclone

GENERALLY AVOID: Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of zopiclone and eszopiclone. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and/or impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Administration of eszopiclone (the S-enantiomer of zopiclone) with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal may delay the onset of hypnotic effects. In healthy adults, administration of a 3 mg dose of eszopiclone after a high-fat meal decreased the mean peak plasma drug concentration (Cmax) by 21% and delayed the time to reach peak plasma drug concentration (Tmax) by approximately 1 hour. Theoretically, this interaction should also affect racemic zopiclone.

MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving zopiclone or eszopiclone should be advised to avoid consumption of alcohol. For faster sleep onset, eszopiclone and zopiclone should not be administered with or immediately after a high-fat/heavy meal.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
