Kann ich Diazepam und Morphin zusammen einnehmen?

Warum das passiert

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.

Fahren und Bedienen von Maschinen

Es ist oft eine Straftat, mit Diazepam zu fahren, da es Ihre Koordination und Reaktionszeiten erheblich beeinträchtigen kann. Fahren Sie nicht Auto oder bedienen Sie keine Maschinen, bis Sie wissen, wie dieses Medikament Sie beeinflusst, und bewahren Sie das Medikament immer in der Originalverpackung auf, um es bei einer Kontrolle den Polizei zeigen zu können.

Schwangerschaft

Vermeiden Sie die Anwendung in späten Schwangerschaften oder während der Geburt, da es das "Schlappkind-Syndrom" und lebensbedrohliche Entzugssymptome beim Neugeborenen verursachen kann.

Alkohol

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.

Grapefruitsaft

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.

Koffein (Kaffee, Tee, Energydrinks)

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.
