Interactions

Drug interactions can alter the way your medications work or put you at risk for serious side effects. This document does not include every possible drug interaction. Maintain a list of all the products you use (including prescription and nonprescription drugs, as well as herbal supplements) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medications without first consulting your doctor.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other drowsy medications, such as opioid pain relievers (such as codeine, hydrocodone), alcohol, marijuana (cannabis), sleep or anxiety medications (such as alprazolam, lorazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants (such as carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine), or antihistamines (such as cetirizine, diphenhydramine).

Check the labels of all your medications (such as allergy or cough-and-cold remedies) because they may contain drowsy ingredients. Inquire with your pharmacist about how to use those products safely.
