Triazolam
The coadministration of triazolam and Nefazodone causes a significant increase in the plasma level of triazolam, and a 75% reduction in the initial triazolam dosage is recommended if the two drugs are to be given together. Because not all commercially available dosage forms of triazolam permit a sufficient dosage reduction, the coadministration of triazolam and Nefazodone should be avoided for most patients, including the elderly.
