Lorazepam Fluvoxamine

Extracted bromazepam, clobazam, fluvoxamine, lorazepam, oxazepam... 

Most benzodiazepines undergo oxidative metabolism in the liver that may be enhanced by enzyme inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin) or slowed by inhibitors (sodium valproate, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine). Oxazepam, lorazepam and temazepam are directly conjugated and are not subject to these interactions. 

FLUOXETINE, FLUVOXAMINE, PAROXETINE BZDs - ALPRAZOLAM, DIAZEPAM, MIDAZOLAM t in plasma concentrations of these BZDs. Likely t sedation and interference with psychomotor activity Alprazolam, diazepam and midazolam are subject to metabolism by CYP3A4. Fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and possibly paroxetine are inhibitors of CYP3A4 sertraline is a weak inhibitor. SSRIs are relatively weak compared with ketoconazole, which is possibly 100 times more potent as an inhibitor Warn patients about risks associated with activities that require alertness. Consider use of alternatives such as oxazepam, lorazepam and temazepam, which are metabolized by glucuronidation >- For signs and symptoms of CNS depression, see Clinical Features of Some Adverse Drug Interactions, Central nervous system depression... 

Potentially clinically significant interactions include the tendency for fluvoxamine to increase circulating concentrations of oxidatively metabolized benzodiazepines, clozapine, theophylline, and warfarin. Sertraline and fluoxetine can increase levels of benzodiazepines, clozapine, and warfarin. Paroxetine increases levels of clozapine, theophylline, and warfarin. Fluoxetine also potentiates tricyclic antidepressants and some class 1C antiarrhythmics with a narrow therapeutic index (including encainide, flecainide, and propafenone). Nefazodone potentiates benzodiazepines other than lorazepam and oxazepam.
