Hello,
It is not safe to take Diazepam along with Hydrocodone drug. Taking Diazepam along with Hydrocodone can cause central nervous system depression resulting in serious side effects such as respiratory distress, coma, and even death.
When used alone each of these medications can cause central nervous system depression so if taken together it may have additive effects in depressing the central nervous system.
Consult her treating doctor for an alternate effective medications that do not interact, or she may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications.
There is no documented evidence of other medications causing harmful interactions if taken at the same time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
