Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Itraconazole and fluvoxamine slow down the elimination rate of etizolam, leading to the accumulation of etizolam, therefore increasing its pharmacological effects.
- Carbamazepine speeds up the metabolism of etizolam, resulting in reduced pharmacological effects.
- Etizolam may interact with sedatives, CNS depressants, anti-depressant, sedating antihistamines, anti-psychotics, disulfiram, clozapine, cisapride, opioid analgesics, diazoxide, cimetidine, proton-pump inhibitors, muscle relaxants, ACE II inhibitors, alcohol, beta-blockers, anti-epileptics and sodium nitroprusside, but limited data is available.
