Drug Interactions between Norco and Valium?

Can taking 2 Norco 5/325′s and 1 generic 5 mg Valium kill you?

Answer:

At first, Norco is a combination of two drugs (1) acetaminophen,which is a pain reliever also known as paracetamol or panadol (2) hydrocodone bitartrate, which is an opioid analgesic (strong pain reliever) and an anti-tussive (anti-cough). Generally, opioid analgesics can cause respiratory depression if high doses were used or if another drug i taken which can decrease the metabolism of this drug causing it to stay longer in the body and may result in toxicity. Valium is a benzodiazepine works as a sedative usually given for people with panic attacks or those who find it hard to sleep.
Therefore, patients receiving other narcotics, antihistamines, antipsychotics, antianxiety agents, or other CNS depressants (including alcohol) concomitantly with NORCO® may exhibit an additive CNS depression. When combined therapy is contemplated, the dose of one or both agents should be reduced.

Good luck
