Interactions with Other Medications and Substances
1. Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants: Eszopiclone is a CNS depressant that affects brain chemicals to induce sleep. Its combination with other CNS depressants, such as other sedatives, opioids, or alcohol, may amplify the sedative effects and increase the risk of excessive drowsiness, confusion, respiratory depression, or even coma. Therefore, it is important to avoid or minimize the simultaneous use of Eszopiclone with other CNS depressants.
Note: The combination of Eszopiclone with CNS depressants can be potentially dangerous and life-threatening. Consult your doctor before using Eszopiclone with any other medicine or substance.
2. CYP3A4 inhibitors: Eszopiclone is primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme in the liver. Medicines that inhibit this enzyme, such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, rifampicin or grapefruit juice, can increase blood levels of Eszopiclone. Elevated Eszopiclone levels may increase the risk of side effects and may require a lower dose of the medication to avoid excessive sedation.
- Table 1: Examples of CYP3A4 inhibitors
| Inhibitors | Examples |
|---|---|
| Antifungals | Ketoconazole, itraconazole |
| Antibiotics | Erythromycin |
| Anti-tuberculosis | Rifampicin |
| Fruit juice | Grapefruit juice |
3. Benzodiazepines: Combining Eszopiclone with other benzodiazepines, such as lorazepam or diazepam, may increase the sedative effects and the risk of respiratory depression. These medications have similar mechanisms of action and should not be used together without medical supervision or dosage adjustment.
