Moderate

clonazePAM food

Applies to: clonazepam

GENERALLY AVOID: Acute ethanol ingestion may potentiate the CNS effects of many benzodiazepines. Tolerance may develop with chronic ethanol use. The mechanism may be decreased clearance of the benzodiazepines because of CYP450 hepatic enzyme inhibition. Also, it has been suggested that the cognitive deficits induced by benzodiazepines may be increased in patients who chronically consume large amounts of alcohol.

MANAGEMENT: Patients should be advised to avoid alcohol during benzodiazepine therapy.

lorcaserin food

Applies to: Belviq XR (lorcaserin)

Food does not appear to significantly affect the absorption and oral bioavailability of lurasidone. In twelve adult volunteers (6 men and 6 women), administration of a single 10 mg oral dose of lorcaserin following a high-fat (approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal) and high-calorie (approximately 800 to 1000 calories) meal resulted in less than 10% increases in lorcaserin peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) compared to administration in the fasted state. The time to reach peak concentration (Tmax) was delayed by approximately 1 hour in the fed state. Lorcaserin may be administered with or without food.

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.
