Drug Interactions

Alprazolam enhances the action of other psychotropic drugs, anticonvulsants and antihistamines, ethanol and drugs that have a depressant effect on the central nervous system. Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation – increase the risk of toxic effects. Inductors of liver microsomal enzymes – reduce the effectiveness of alprazolam. Antihypertensive drugs may increase the severity of blood pressure reduction. With simultaneous appointment with clozapine may increase respiratory depression. Reduces the effectiveness of levodopa in patients with parkinsonism. Increased toxicity of zidovudine is potentially possible.

Alprazolam at a dose of 4 mg / day increases plasma concentrations of imipramine and desipramine (by 31% and 20%, respectively), while taking it simultaneously. The metabolic clearance of alprazolam is reduced while taking the usual therapeutic doses of cimetidine and macrolide antibiotics. Care should be taken to consider reducing the dose of alprazolam when it is taken with cimetidine, macrolides, nefazodone, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, propoxyphene, sertraline, daltiazem, digoxin and oral contraceptives.
