WARNING: RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OPIOIDS; ABUSE,
MISUSE, AND ADDICTION; AND DEPENDENCE AND WITHDRAWAL
REACTIONS
Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound
sedation,
respiratory depression, coma, and death. Reserve concomitant
prescribing of
these drugs in patients for whom alternative treatment options are
inadequate.
Limit dosages and durations to the minimum required. Follow patients
for signs and
symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation.
The use of benzodiazepines, including temazepam, exposes users to
risks of
abuse, misuse, and addiction, which can lead to overdose or death.
Abuse and
misuse of benzodiazepines commonly involve concomitant use of other
medications, alcohol, and/or illicit substances, which is associated
with an increased
frequency of serious adverse outcomes. Before prescribing temazepam
and
throughout treatment, assess each patient’s risk for abuse, misuse,
and addiction
(see WARNINGS).
The continued use of benzodiazepines, including Temazepam, may lead to
clinically
significant physical dependence. The risks of dependence and
withdrawal increase
with longer treatment duration and higher daily dose. Abrupt
discontinuation or
rapid dosage reduction of temazepam after continued use may
precipitate acute
withdrawal reactions, which can be life-threatening. To reduce the
risk of
withdrawal reactions, use a gradual taper to discontinue temazepam or
reduce the
dosage (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION and WARNINGS).
