Interactions with other medicines

Alcohol and other CNS depressants (benzodiazepines, opioids, sedating antihistamines, antipsychotics) increase sedation/respiratory depression. CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) may increase zolpidem levels; CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St John’s wort) may reduce effect. Caution with antidepressants/antipsychotics due to additive sedation.
