Can I take Diazepam and Paracetamol together?

Por que isso acontece

These drugs are processed by different pathways in the liver and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the body. They also work on different parts of the nervous system.

You can take these medicines together as prescribed or directed on the packaging. Always follow the recommended dose for each. If you feel unusually drowsy, avoid driving or using machinery.

Consumo de álcool

Do not drink alcohol while taking diazepam. Combining them can cause dangerously shallow breathing, extreme sleepiness, and can be fatal.

Liver health and multiple medications

Never exceed the maximum dose (usually 8 tablets in 24 hours). Many cold and flu remedies also contain paracetamol; taking them together can cause fatal liver damage.

Long-term use and dependency

Diazepam is for short-term use only (usually 2-4 weeks). Using it longer can lead to physical addiction and severe withdrawal symptoms if stopped suddenly.

Álcool

You must not drink alcohol while taking diazepam. Alcohol increases the sedative effects of the medicine, which can lead to extreme sleepiness, dangerous breathing problems, and loss of consciousness.

Suco de toranja

Avoid drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit. It can increase the amount of diazepam in your blood, making side effects like drowsiness more likely and longer-lasting.

Caffeine (Coffee, Tea, Energy Drinks)

Caffeine can reduce the calming effects of diazepam because it acts as a stimulant, which works against the medicine's purpose.
