Nayzilam and Alcohol/Food Interactions
There are 2 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Nayzilam (midazolam).
Midazolam Food
Moderate Food Interaction
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with midazolam and lead to potentially dangerous side effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor. Do not drink alcohol while taking midazolam. This medication can increase the effects of alcohol. You may feel more drowsy, dizzy, or tired if you take midazolam with alcohol. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
Midazolam Obesity
Moderate Potential Hazard, High plausibility
benzodiazepines - obesity
The plasma half-lives of benzodiazepines may be prolonged in obese patients, presumably due to increased distribution into fat. Marked increases in distribution (> 100%) have been reported for diazepam and midazolam, and moderate increases (25% to 100%) for alprazolam, lorazepam, and oxazepam. Therapy with benzodiazepines should be administered cautiously in obese patients, with careful monitoring of CNS status. Longer dosing intervals may be appropriate. When dosing by weight, loading doses should be based on actual body weight, while maintenance dose should be based on ideal body weight to avoid toxicity.
