Oral contraceptives alter the metabolism of some benzodiazepines that undergo oxidation (chlordiazepoxide, alprazolam, diazepam) or nitroreduction (nitrazepam) (334). Oral contraceptives inhibit enzyme activity and reduce the clearances of these drugs. There is nevertheless no evidence that these interactions are of clinical importance. For other benzodiazepines that undergo oxidative metabolism, such as bromazepam and clotiazepam, no change has ever been found in oral contraceptive users. 

A San Francisco woman with a history of diabetes and high blood pressure was hospitalized in January 2001 with a life-threatening low blood sugar concentration after she consumed Anso Comfort capsules (260). The authors conjectured that hospitalization may have been necessitated by a drug interaction of chlordiazepoxide with medications that she was taking for other medical conditions. 

The coat state assessment is a fast and simple qualitative method of assessing mouse depression-like states through observation of the condition of an animal s fur. In rodents, coat state tends to decline with increased depression, similar to depressed patients who frequently exhibit poor hygiene (29-31). Antidepressants have been shown to improve the coat condition of mice while reducing depression-like symptoms (29-31). For example, the reduction of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been associated with improved coat state (and is implicated in depression) (32). Of importance here, antidepressants (e.g., imipramine) and anxiolytics (e.g., chlordiazepoxide) have been shown to interact with corticotropin-releasing factor (33) (see Note 7). 

Corticosteroids interact with barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, frusemide, thiazide, NSAIDs, antidiabetics, and antihypertensive drugs. Benzquinamide hydrochloride is incompatible with chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, and some barbiturates. Care should be exercised when handling bisacodyl to avoid contact with skin and mucosal membranes.
