Applies to: Librium (chlordiazepoxide) and omeprazole
MONITOR: Omeprazole may increase the pharmacologic effects and serum levels of certain benzodiazepines via hepatic enzyme inhibition. Diazepam and triazolam are the only benzodiazepines that have been specifically studied in this regard.
MANAGEMENT: Patient should be observed for increased sedation. Reduced benzodiazepine dosage may be indicated, especially in the elderly. Benzodiazepines not metabolized via oxidation (i.e., lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam) are not expected to interact and may be considered as alternatives.
