Can I take Acitretin with Clonazepam?

Drug Interactions: Effect of Concomitant Use of Benzodiazepine and Opioids: The concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids increases the risk of respiratory depression because of actions at different receptor sites in the CNS that control respiration. Benzodiazepines interact at GABAA sites, and opioids interact primarily at mu receptors.

This is general interaction text from the label of a product that contains Clonazepam. It does not mention Acitretin, so it does not show how Acitretin and Clonazepam affect each other. The verdict above comes from the GoDavaii interaction dataset. Ask your pharmacist to check both medicines' labels before you combine them.

Questions to ask your pharmacist

• Does Acitretin change how Clonazepam works, or the other way round?
• Should I take Acitretin and Clonazepam at different times of day?
• Which side effects should I watch for while taking both?
• Is there a better option if this combination does not suit me?

• Always tell your doctor/pharmacist about ALL medicines you take - prescriptions, OTC, supplements, and herbal products.
• Keep a current medicine list with doses and timings - photo on your phone is enough.
• Read medicine labels for timing (with food / empty stomach) before combining.
• Even 'safe' combinations need monitoring - note any unusual symptoms in the first few days.
• Use GoDavaii AI to double-check before adding any new medicine, supplement, or desi ilaaj.
