Medication

The general rule is: if several medications are taken at the same time, interactions can mean that their effects are either reduced or increased. This can pose a serious threat to the patient’s health.

That also applies to several medications that are also used as (party) drugs. These include, for example, the anesthetic ketamine and some strong sedatives (tranquilizers) like for example Valium® and Rohypnol® as well as other active substances from the group of so-called benzodiazepines. These substances can cause strong and dangerous interactions with HIV medications.
