FDA black box warning: combined CNS depression at GABA-A and mu-opioid receptors causes profound respiratory depression, coma, and death.

Avoid concurrent use. If absolutely necessary in supervised settings, lowest doses, shortest duration, monitor respiratory rate and oxygen saturation. Naloxone availability.

FDA black box warning: combined use of benzodiazepines and opioids causes profound respiratory depression, coma, and death via synergistic CNS depression at different receptor sites (GABA-A and mu-opioid).

Avoid concurrent use. If absolutely necessary in supervised settings, limit to lowest doses, shortest duration, monitor respiratory rate and oxygen saturation, and ensure naloxone availability.

Additive CNS/respiratory depression

Avoid combination; boxed warning class

Pharmacodynamic synergy causing respiratory depression. Gabapentin + opioids significantly increase risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression, sedation, and death. FDA issued warning December 2019.

Avoid concurrent use if possible. If necessary, use lowest effective doses of both, limit duration, and monitor closely for sedation and respiratory depression. Consider naloxone availability.

Additive CNS and respiratory depression. Pregabalin and opioids both depress central respiratory drive. Concurrent use significantly increases risk of profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death, particularly in elderly or opioid-naive patients.

Avoid concurrent use if possible. If combination is necessary, use lowest effective doses of both agents, monitor respiratory rate closely (target ≥10 breaths/min), and consider naloxone availability. Start with reduced opioid dose (25-50% less) and titrate cautiously.
