Section 4.4 added under Risks from concomitant use of opioids and benzodiazepines:
· Concomitant use of Frisium and opioids may result in sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death. Because of these risks, concomitant prescribing of sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related drugs such as Frisium with opioids should be reserved for patients for whom alternative treatment options are not possible.
· If a decision is made to prescribe Frisium concomitantly with opioids, the lowest effective dose should be used, and the duration of treatment should be as short as possible (see also general dose recommendation in section 4.2).
· The patients should be followed closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation. In this respect, it is strongly recommended to inform patients and their environment to be aware of these symptoms (see section 4.5).
Section 4.5 added under Opioids
· The concomitant use of sedative medicines such as benzodiazepines or related drugs such as Frisium with opioids increases the risk of sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death because of additive CNS depressant effect. The dosage and duration of concomitant use should be limited (see section 4.4).
Section 4.8 removed under Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders
· Photosensitivity reaction
