Can you take Clobazam with Metyrosine?

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.

metyroSINE has a moderate potential interaction with Parkinsonism.

Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) have occurred in approximately 10% of patients receiving metyrosine. EPS include drooling, speech difficulty, and tremor. Trismus and parkinsonian syndrome have been reported. Therapy with metyrosine should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposition to EPS or Parkinson's disease. Dosage reduction or discontinuation of metyrosine may be necessary.

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.

metyroSINE has a moderate potential interaction with Psychosis.

Anxiety, excitability, and psychic disturbances such as hallucinations, disorientation/confusion, emotional instability, and depression have occurred in patients receiving metyrosine. Therapy with metyrosine should be administered cautiously in patients with psychiatric and/or emotional disorders. Dosage reduction may be appropriate. Clinical monitoring of emotional and psychiatric status is recommended.

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.

metyroSINE has a moderate potential interaction with Renal Dysfunction.

Metyrosine is primarily eliminated by the kidney. The serum concentration of metyrosine may be increased in patients with renal impairment. Therapy with metyrosine should be administered cautiously in patient with compromised renal function. Clinical monitoring of renal function is recommended.
