Does Triazolam Interact with Lansoprazole Amoxicillin Clarithromycin?
CDI records a moderate classification for Triazolam and Lansoprazole Amoxicillin Clarithromycin. The stored summary is: Alprazolam Triazolam Triazolam, Alprazolam : Caution and appropriate dose adjustments should be considered when triazolam or alprazolam is coadministered with clarithromycin. There have been postmarketing reports of drug interactions and central nervous system (CNS) effects (e.g., somnolence and confusion) with the concomitant use of clarithromycin and triazolam. In postmarketing experience, erythromycin has been reported to decrease the clearance of triazolam and midazolam, and thus, may increase the pharmacologic effect of these benzodiazepines. Patients taking both medications should consult their healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing the dosage of either drug. This record was extracted from drug labeling through openFDA. NIH/NLM RxNorm is used for drug identities.
