Chlordiazepoxide Tips from Pharmacists

  • Take chlordiazepoxide exactly as prescribed. This medicine is habit-forming and should be used at the lowest dose for the shortest time to relieve symptoms.

  • Side effects of chlordiazepoxide include mental and physical impairments. Do not drive or do other hazardous activities until you know how it affects you.

  • Do not stop taking chlordiazepoxide suddenly. Doing so can lead to withdrawal effects. Your doctor will tell you how to reduce the dose slowly.

  • Check with your healthcare provider before taking any other drugs while on chlordiazepoxide. Interactions between medications can lead to serious adverse events.
