Puis-je prendre du Diazépam et de la Morphine ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Both drugs are 'central nervous system depressants'. This means they both slow down brain activity and the signals that tell your body to breathe. When taken together, their effects add up, making the sedation and breathing problems much stronger than if either drug were taken alone.

You should only take these two medicines together if they have been specifically prescribed by the same doctor who is aware you are taking both. If you must take both, use the lowest dose possible for the shortest time. Seek emergency medical help immediately if you experience extreme dizziness, fainting, very slow breathing, or if you cannot stay awake. Avoid alcohol and do not drive or operate machinery while taking this combination.

Respiratory conditions (e.g. COPD, severe asthma) or sleep apnoea

Both medicines can significantly slow your breathing. Taking them together, or if you already have lung problems, can cause life-threatening breathing difficulties.

Long-term use (Dependence)

These medicines are highly addictive. Using them for more than a few weeks can lead to physical dependence and severe withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly.

Conduite et utilisation de machines

Il est souvent interdit de conduire sous l'influence du diazépam car cela peut sérieusement altérer votre coordination et vos temps de réaction. Ne conduisez pas et n'utilisez pas de machines tant que vous ne savez pas comment ce médicament vous affecte, et conservez toujours le médicament dans son emballage d'origine pour le montrer à la police en cas de contrôle.

Grossesse

Évitez l'utilisation en fin de grossesse ou pendant l'accouchement, car cela peut provoquer le 'syndrome du bébé mou' et des symptômes de sevrage potentiellement mortels chez le nouveau-né.

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking diazepam. Combining them can cause dangerous levels of drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and may lead to a coma. It also significantly increases the risk of accidents.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking morphine. Combining alcohol with morphine significantly increases the risk of dangerous side effects, such as extreme sleepiness, breathing difficulties, and a potentially fatal overdose.

Jus de pamplemousse

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit while taking diazepam. Grapefruit contains compounds that stop your body from breaking down the medicine properly, which can lead to higher levels of the drug in your blood and increase the risk of side effects.

Caféine (Café, thé, boissons énergisantes)

Caffeine can reduce the calming effects of diazepam. Because caffeine is a stimulant and diazepam is a sedative, they work against each other, making the medicine less effective.
