Depressant effects may be enhanced by other CNS depressants e.g. alcohol, anaesthetics, anxiolytics, hypnotics, TCAs and antipsychotics. Ammonium chloride may increase excretion of fentanyl. Phenothiazines may increase hypotensive effect of opioid analgesics. Serum levels may be increased by CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. azole antifungals, clarithromycin, diclofenac, doxycycline, erythromycin, imatinib, isoniazid, nefazodone, nicardipine, propofol, protease inhibitors, quinidine, telithromycin and verapamil). May reduce the efficacy of pegvisomant. Serum levels may be reduced by rifamycin derivatives. May increase serotonergic effect of SSRIs and sibutramine.
