In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Before taking clonazePAM, tell your doctor if you also use secobarbital. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. If you are already taking this combination you should contact your doctor if you have symptoms of breathing problems, confusion, or altered consciousness. It is important that you tell your healthcare provider about all other medications that you are using including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using your medications without first talking to your doctor first.

Professional:

MONITOR: Barbiturates may increase the plasma clearance of clonazepam and thereby reduce its clinical effectiveness. Phenobarbital is the only barbiturate specifically implicated in this interaction. However, other barbiturates may behave in a similar fashion. Also, clonazepam may increase the effectiveness of barbiturates. A case of respiratory depression and coma has been reported in a patient receiving high doses of both clonazepam and amobarbital.

MANAGEMENT: If these drugs are used together, close observation for altered clonazepam and barbiturate effects is indicated.
