Can you take Clobazam with Eliglustat?

cloBAZam has a major potential interaction with Acute Alcohol Intoxication.

The use of benzodiazepines with alcohol is not recommended. Patients with acute alcohol intoxication exhibit depressed vital signs. The central nervous system depressant effects of benzodiazepines may be additive with those of alcohol, and severe respiratory depression and death may occur. Therapy with benzodiazepines should be administered cautiously in patients who might be prone to acute alcohol intake.

cloBAZam has a moderate potential interaction with Depression.

Benzodiazepines depress the central nervous system and may cause or exacerbate mental depression and cause suicidal behavior and ideation. Episodes of mania and hypomania have also been reported in depressed patients treated with some of these agents. Therapy with benzodiazepines should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of depression or other psychiatric disorders. Patients should be monitored for any changes in mood or behavior. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.

cloBAZam has a major potential interaction with Drug Dependence.

Benzodiazepines have the potential to cause dependence and abuse. Tolerance as well as physical and psychological dependence can develop, particularly after prolonged use and/or excessive dosages. However, abrupt cessation following continual use of as few as 6 weeks at therapeutic levels has occasionally precipitated withdrawal symptoms. Addiction- prone individuals, such as those with a history of alcohol or substance abuse, should be under careful surveillance when treated with benzodiazepines. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients. After prolonged use or if dependency is suspected, withdrawal of benzodiazepine therapy should be undertaken gradually using a dosage- tapering schedule. If withdrawal symptoms occur, temporary reinstitution of benzodiazepines may be necessary.

Eliglustat has a major potential interaction with Heart Disease.

The use of eliglustat is contraindicated in patients who are CYP2D6 extensive metabolizers or intermediate metabolizers taking a strong or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor concomitantly with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor or those who are intermediate metabolizers or poor metabolizers taking a strong CYP3A inhibitor due to the risk of a significant increase in drug plasma concentrations. Eliglustat is predicted to cause increases in EKG intervals (PR, QTc, and QRS) at high plasma concentrations and could result in arrhythmias; therefore, its use is not recommended in patients with preexisting cardiac disease (congestive heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, heart block, arrhythmias), or long QT syndrome.

Eliglustat has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of drugs eliglustat is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and in those patients, who are CYP450 2D6 extensive metabolizers with mild hepatic impairment and taking a strong or moderate CYP450 2D6 inhibitor due to the risk of cardiac arrhythmias from prolongation of the PR, QTc, and/or QRS cardiac intervals. This agent is contraindicated in patients who are CYP450 2D6 extensive metabolizers, intermediate metabolizers and taking a strong or moderate CYP450 2D6 inhibitor concomitantly with a strong or moderate CYP450 3A inhibitor. In the case of CYP450 2D6 intermediate metabolizers, or poor metabolizers, eliglustat is contraindicated in those patients with any degree of hepatic impairment or those taking a strong CYP450 3A inhibitor.

cloBAZam has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.

Benzodiazepines depress the central nervous system and may cause or exacerbate mental depression and cause suicidal behavior and ideation. Episodes of mania and hypomania have also been reported in depressed patients treated with some of these agents. Therapy with benzodiazepines should be administered cautiously in patients with a history of depression or other psychiatric disorders. Patients should be monitored for any changes in mood or behavior. It may be prudent to refrain from dispensing large quantities of medication to these patients.

Eliglustat has a major potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

The use of drugs eliglustat should be avoided in patients with end-stage renal disease (estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl) less than 15 mL/min not on dialysis or requiring dialysis). No dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (eCrCl at least 15 mL/min). In the case of CYP450 2D6 intermediate metabolizers, or poor metabolizers, eliglustat should be avoided in those patients with any degree of renal impairment.

cloBAZam has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Benzodiazepines are excreted by the kidneys and should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function and end-stage kidney disease.
