Description

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Opioid Analgesics and Other Sedative Hypnotics : Risk of respiratory depression is increased ( 7.1 ) Cytochrome P450-3A4 Inhibitors : May result in prolonged sedation due to decreased plasma clearance of midazolam. The sedative effect of intravenous midazolam is accentuated by any concomitantly administered medication which depresses the central nervous system, particularly opioids (e.g., morphine, meperidine and fentanyl) and also secobarbital and droperidol. Consequently, the dosage of midazolam should be adjusted according to the type and amount of concomitant medications administered and the desired clinical response [see Dosage and Administration (2) ].
